| _____________________________________ [Jun 29,2007 7:21pm - xanonymousx ""] That is a piece of art. How will you buy replacement strings for it? Would you buy direct from the company? I don't believe I have seen a bass string pack of ten in a music store. |

Would you buy direct from the company? I don't believe I have seen a bass string pack of ten in a music store. I'll most likely get a 6 string set,and by singles for the rest. I actually got a hook-up,and can get a 10-string set for $17!:skull: |

| _______________________________ [Jun 29,2007 10:40pm - blue ""] yes, yes you do. by the way shawn, is the low f# saddle off the body a little bit? |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 29,2007 10:57pm - xanonymousx ""] I just noticed something with all you dudes in Porphyria getting new axes with more strings and such, is it going to be hard for you all to tune to a pitch and play all of your songs. IE Blue with his six string. Shawn with his 10 string and now tom with a 7 string. This is going to be interesting to see you dudes now. what tuning do you use in the first place? i forget |

I don't think it should be a problem though.If you look where it's screwed on,it seems like it should be fine. |

| _______________________________ [Jun 29,2007 11:33pm - blue ""] at one point we boasted a full 21 strings in our band. were upping the ante going for 24. |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 29,2007 11:35pm - xanonymousx ""] Sweet can't wait to hear this 24 string assault. Maybe on a new record? |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 29,2007 11:36pm - Farten_Dust ""] Here's a closeup,you can see how nuts the grain in the wood is! [img] |

| __________________________________________ [Jun 30,2007 12:59pm - no name needed ""] sick looking bass.. that's the kind of thing i would need to play if i saw one.. you never see shit like that around. good luck mastering the use of it-- it has dimension! |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 8,2007 12:24pm - the_reverend ""] guard this with your life. |
| _________________________________ [Jul 8,2007 2:03pm - Niccolai ""] those hartke strings are about 15 bucks for a 5 string pack or something. They don't sound half bad either, they just get dull sounding quicker then steel strings. |
