Anyone ever played a multi-scale guitar? How is the tension on the high strings, are they really loose for those used to playing 11s?

I've played a few, and the answer is no different from any other guitar, "It depends on the scale(s) of the specific instrument and which strings you use." The ones I played had a lot less tension than a set of 11s in E-standard, but they weren't set up with heavy strings.

Interested in getting a multi-scale myself but wanna really put one though the paces first. No hurry,though. I have a Spector that sounds phenominal and a multiscale would have to be life changing to make me spend any kind of real cash on another 5 string. That one you have there would definitely earn a test run if I saw it in the bass place.

Awesome score! I like what I've heard of the Bartolini + Ibanez combo, great smooth and full sound

Enjoy those fanned frets too

Me too..I thought fanned frets would be really weird, but they aren't at all. It think they sound great on a 5 or 6 string bass. Not really worth it on a 6 or 7 string guitar, though.

looks sweet. i was always surprised how easy it was to get used to the fanned frets

35 1/2" on the B down to 34" on the G.

Imagine tuning down a whole step.

It's a beauty. How you diggin' those Bartolinis?

They sound good, idk how to describe bass pickups like I do guitar, but I'd say lots of low end, but still punchy and clear like a p-bass

35 1/2" on the B down to 34" on the G.

Wow, I bet that sounds massive.
