8 string 26 fret glavestion bass, breaks my heart to sell this but as my spine is twisted i can no longer use this on stage, slight mark on the bottom as shown, The gold is wearing off the tuner pegs and I seem to have lost the truss rod cover. I currently have this tuned EBEADGBE! It has push/ pull volume pot which switches between active and passive.
£280

Hi Dave,

I'm interested in the 8-string bass. So the low E is lower than the B on a standard 5/6 string bass? If so, what scale is it, what gauge string do you use for the low E, and did you have to modify the tuning post's hole to accomodate a heavier string? Furthermore, how easy is it to get strings for this?

Hi Lee.
Right yeah it's tuned to a low E (lower than a 5 string B), the Instructions that came with it said F# but that made no sence to me so i took it down a step, tonally it's very hard to hear any differance between the bottom 2 or 3 notes though lol.
Strings, I never restrung it since i got it, kinda shows how much i've been able to play it with my back. I just looked at buying a 6 string set and then buying two separate strings. Trem post have not been and will not need modding. I'll have to check the scale of neck for you. I'll be able to post diamentions up tomorrow for you.
Cheers,
Dave
