Members kurfu Posted April 1, 2010 Members Share Posted April 1, 2010 Don't know if Hamer still makes these, but you could probably custom order one like I did back in '92: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BigPigPeaches Posted April 1, 2010 Members Share Posted April 1, 2010 I played the Schecter 8 string last week. What a piece of {censored}. I respectfully disagree. I set one of these up for a friend of mine, and although it took a LOT of setup work, it ended up playing and sounding very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Renfield Posted April 1, 2010 Members Share Posted April 1, 2010 I respectfully disagree. I set one of these up for a friend of mine, and although it took a LOT of setup work, it ended up playing and sounding very nice. Did it have any low end? The ones I've played didn't. VERY thin and trebly tone, right down to the low E. The Dean Rogue killed it, flat out. It was even balanced, the Hamer? Not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pickdust Posted April 1, 2010 Members Share Posted April 1, 2010 You can check out the difference in tone of the various makes of 12'vrs here:http://www.12stringbass.net/ The tone of the 12s are very close to the tone of the 8's of the same manufacturer. It should provide a reasonable basis for comparison. I've played all of the 8's, everyone here has mentioned, and the Waterstone 8 has the most balanced sound and the strongest bottom end. IMO I think they're running ~ 8 beans with case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noodled around on it unplugged and never had the urge to plug it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Phantasm Posted April 2, 2010 Members Share Posted April 2, 2010 I got a Rogue 8-string for $179 shipped from MF, one of their "stupid deals of the day." I recorded a song with it for one of my previous bands, and if you would like to hear it, it's called Dogs and you can stream it here: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/menagerieband2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators ThudMaker Posted April 2, 2010 Moderators Share Posted April 2, 2010 Ok! I wants to plays it very much! That thing looks killer! How's it play/sound? Well, it's a bit heavy, but the funny thing is that as a 4 stringer, it was neck heavy. After the conversion, I didn't notice it that much. I much prefer the tone of this one to some of the cheaper ones I've played with generic soapbars. It has a really nice, smooth bottom and a gritty top end. I was thinking if I could get up to the May Svi GTG, this might be the bass I bring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
