I have just a costom quote of a 4 string rogue bass and the price was 9000$. But what I really wanted was an 8 string. How much the price would go up if the same bass would be 8 stringed. The specs are: NECK FEATURES 4 string 5100.00 Right-handed 0.00 Short scale - 30-3/4 inches 0.00 Maple neck w/walnut pinstripes 0.00 Ebony fingerboard 0.00 Fretted 0.00 Comfort fingerboard taper (wide) 0.00 No inlays 0.00 Front Laser LEDs 1500.00 Aluminum side dots 0.00 Europa inline peghead 0.00 BODY FEATURES Vermilion top 0.00 Bookmatch top to center 600.00 Vermilion body 200.00 No back laminate 0.00 Transparent gloss burst finish 400.00 Triple Omega body shape 1200.00 HARDWARE FEATURES Bronze logo and script 0.00 Bridge block 0.00 Bird tailpiece 0.00 Brass truss rod cover 0.00 Plastic backplate(s) 0.00 Polished brass hardware 0.00 Gold Alembic Gotoh machine heads 0.00 Gold strap locks 0.00 ELECTRONICS FEATURES Europa/Rogue electronics 0.00 Total Price Rogue Quotation 9000.00 | ||

To jump from a 4-string to an 8-string is $800. Each sting will have its own saddle for intonation. On a Triple Omega Shape we'd usually suggest the bird tailpiece shape unless you have another preference. Are you thinking about a Maple accent laminate on this bass? Recently we've had more requests for medium and short scale 8-string basses. Let me know if you have any other questions. |
