If you happen to be anywhere near essex in the near future (doubtful!) Then I'd happily take it off you...

Jaco seems to always be the bench mark for a good bassist... don't get me wrong, he's a fantastic musician, but there are many MANY players without the fame and notoriety that Jaco has that create unbelievable sound scapes from 6+ string basses that Jaco simply would not be able to replicate. I think in order to judge (not that judging is occurring here) the ERB community you must first listen to what can be accomplished with additional strings. We've evolved past 4 strings... deal with it!

I play mainly 6 string, I have a few fours and fives, I have a few 7's too, even a 10 and a 13 string bass. I personally find 6 the most useful, though I often find myself gravitating towards the 7 string for the additional highs, it's great to swap roles with the guitarist in a band while still playing a bass. $ strings is all well and good, but I need more, and 6s and 7s provide that. Useing various effect, reverbs and delays etc. you can produce some fantastic soundscapes. I deffinitely suggest people should at least try a 6 string, they reall open up the possibilites.

What a piece of sh*t. Seriously. The .317 or whatever it isstring iisn't even over the fretboard! Burn it.

I managed to snag that prototype bass, will be collecting itin a few weeks once my 13 string is done. I've had my ups and downs with Jon, but everything is on track now and after having received a 5 string passive bass with the perspex pickup I can say that quality is not an issue, the bass is excellent. Now that communication is regular between us, I have no further issues with Jon. He does build some cracking basses...

All gone already!
