what I got in mind is early manowar sounds/tones.

Why do you want paired strings and picolo? Then it's not a bass anymore, it's just a uke lol. Just use light gauge strings for the strings in the proper bass octave and have the paired strings be picolo.Last edited by Clint 55; 11-05-2020, 07:35 AM.Originally posted by NegativeEase -

thnx I didnt mean all of those attributes at the same time. I meant the kind of "treble-ie" basses, like in Manowar. What I think I like most is 8-string, in a configuration as you said, 4 standard bass + 4 guitar-tuned (1 octave up ).Originally posted by Clint 55 View Post
But I think that short scale e.g. 30" and standard bass tuning + one good octave pedal (1 octave up), would do wonders.Last edited by greekdude; 11-06-2020, 09:42 AM.Comment

I think it's a really bad ass sound. Should sound good whatever you go with. Do you already have a 4 string bass you can set up treble-y? Then you can focus your efforts on the 8 string for the new one?Originally posted by NegativeEaseComment

Funny you mention that. "Quiet Afternoon", from the "School Days" album, was the first thing I thought of when I saw the thread title. Great song.Originally posted by Mincer View PostComment

Stanley certainly had a weird bass tone, but it worked for him.Dave, Ambassador/Writer/Artist for Seymour DuncanComment

I generally think of short scale as kinda thuddy with a strong fundamental. I don’t hear what you’re describing, at all.Comment

I was thinking that also. If you want trebly maybe stay with regular scale. Let us know if you go with 4 string or 8 string.Originally posted by NegativeEaseComment
