Golem Posted November 18, 2010 Author Share Posted November 18, 2010 ` When it's laid down, does the neck look like an aircraft carrier flight deck? I know nothing of Brain Wheat and his 8-string, which might be an extended range bass, but I have no idea. The 8-string T-Bird, and thus by implication the meaning of "8-string" for this thread, would be a 4-course 8-string OCTAVE bass, same idea as a 12-string geetar. Necks on octave instruments are generally just slightly wider than their conventional cousins. IOW, an 8-string OCTAVE neck is similar to a rather narrowish 5-string neck [like a "16mm at the bridge" spaced 5-string]. I had a Yamaha TRB 6-FL with 19mm bridge spacing, and that neck was often compared to an aircract carrier ... especially without the speed bumps ! Too bad there was nothing on that bass that corresponded the steam catapults ! ` Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
