Now, if you examine the clefs , lets skip the others and focus on the bass clef. A standard tuning bass guitar has its lowest note a minor 3rd below the clef and the highest note is already almost 2 octaves above the range of the clef.

A 6 string would be nice. That upper register and the extra lower register, that offers some nice chording and tapping options.

Me and my friend were arguing over the tuning of this bass, and I felt that we needed some more opinions on the subject.

Heres a picture of someone trying to hold the bass.

I think I know S T U P I D I T Y, that is way to many strings for anyone to ever play on unless you are the jolly green giant and have hands that could fit around watermelon all the way.

If you're going to have that many strings, you might as well have a Chapman Stick. Those things are cool.

No, the guy in b_hoves' post is just holding a bass with about 9 strings or so.

If you want to check out a Chapman Stick, go to http://www.chapmanstick.com/

It's a stringed instrument which is positioned parallel to your body which is played by tapping.
