We get educational prices where I work, which is basically a discount for students, teachers, staffers at educational institutions.

Man that finish looks great!]]> Bass Players Discussion DemoEtc https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/5-string-bass-again/#post-233780 https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/5-string-bass-again/#post-233667 Mon, 12 Mar 2007 22:49:05 +0000 http://www.cmtc.co.uk/acatalog/Washburn-T25.html

An 11 string bass playing the theme from "Super Mario Bros"]]> Bass Players Discussion redneckrocker https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/5-string-bass-again/#post-233658 https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/5-string-bass-again/#post-233559 Mon, 12 Mar 2007 02:15:56 +0000
I kind of figured that something like that 12 string would almost have to be played upright, but the body didn't look like it was really made for that.]]> Bass Players Discussion Maliciant https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/5-string-bass-again/#post-233559 https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/5-string-bass-again/#post-233531 Sun, 11 Mar 2007 23:29:22 +0000
Or like with cellists going up high, don't have the thumb behind the neck at all.

I think I saw some video with Ralphe Armstrong playing one. He wore the bass pretty high up and he sorta just had his hand flat across the fretboard - his whole hand.

A nice fiver would do Vic fine though - but of the Mrs. is looking over his shoulder right now, we're...talking about 5-packs of guitar picks. :)]]> Bass Players Discussion DemoEtc https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/5-string-bass-again/#post-233531 https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/5-string-bass-again/#post-233530 Sun, 11 Mar 2007 23:09:44 +0000 Bass Players Discussion Maliciant https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/5-string-bass-again/#post-233530 https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/5-string-bass-again/#post-233309 Sun, 11 Mar 2007 01:57:37 +0000

Sshhhhhh!]]> Bass Players Discussion DemoEtc https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/5-string-bass-again/#post-233272 https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/5-string-bass-again/#post-233234 Sat, 10 Mar 2007 20:23:55 +0000
But I think Vic shouldn't stop at 5 strings. He needs an ERB!]]> Bass Players Discussion slejhamer https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/5-string-bass-again/#post-233234 https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/5-string-bass-again/#post-233219 Sat, 10 Mar 2007 18:37:28 +0000
I figured Alembic would've been there too, and they were, but I was thinking Stanley Clarke, and remembered him just having that piccolo bass.

I wonder, when the 5vers were getting popular in Metal, which was the first brand that started putting them out on a non-custom basis. Yamaha or Ibanez? I wasn't really into Metal back then so I didn't have a lot of conversations with fellow bassists about which 5-strings were 'happening.'

Thanks for filling in the blanks for us.

Best
