Great action, straight neck, Alembic, Veillette Citron or other neck through quality build. Thanks, Todd | ||

Thanks for thinking of me and keeping me posted, I saw it 30 minutes after it was listed last night and am currently the high bidder - though I wish it had a natural wood finish, I will be very glad to have it should I wind up high bidder. I used buy it now to pickup serial number 103 guitar for $1000 in NYC this week and it sings beautifully - Harvey Citron told me it was special ordered by the Good Rats guitarist. I am slowly assembling a great VC collection.  (Message edited by toddharris on July 14, 2010) | ||

Status graphite neck 8string on Japanese Yahoo auction. The nut have been modified to be able to put 125 string. Dings on the back. The seller will ship intl but the price might seems to be high under present exchange rate. http://page8.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/h142057873 other pics http://photos.yahoo.co.jp/ph/wittmanmusic/lst?.dir=/50ca&.src=ph&.order=&.view=t&.done=http%3a//photos.yahoo.co.jp/ | ||

Hi Mike - good to hear from you - come on down to Uncle Mike's in NYC this Saturday if you are able - we have the whole night from 9:30 on. The 6 was used for a gig last night and really is warm and unique - great guitar | ||

You got that guitar for a song, considering the asking price for the last one I saw about a year or so ago on ebay! I've got a couple of shows I have to tech for this weekend, so getting down to the city is a no-go this time  | ||

There is a CD Album called "ZOOMA" released by John Paul Jones in 1999 that has mostly 10 &12 string Bass work. Interesting listening. Congratulations on the 8 string Todd! Wolf | ||

"Achilles Last Stand" - Led Zeppelin, Presence "Gonna Raise Hell" - Cheap Trick, The Dream Police (in fact, both Alembics if I'm not mistaken!) "Spanish Castle Magic" - Jimi Hendrix, Axis: Bold as Love Doug Pinnick of King's X did a lot of recording with 12-strings, but never used an 8 That's all I can think of for now. Oh, and congrats on the bass! Welcome to the world of 8! (Message edited by hieronymous on July 20, 2010) | ||

"Jeremy" - Pearl Jam was recorded with a 12 but he plays it live with an 8 "Kashmir" - Led Zeppelin sounds like he uses an 8 string if you listen hard enough ~Taylor | ||
