Love that Bass Eden! It is one of the best sounding eights going around - the octave strings seem to be more prominent than in a lot of eights I've heard - it almost sits between a conventional eight and a 12er in sound. Of course, your technique is also a big input into that effect....

I do often use the multi stringers as an oversize bouzouki for that chordal thing.....
Did anyone spot the song?

It sounded a bit like "Little Whirl" by Guided By Voices, but I'm probably wrong.weemac wrote:Did anyone spot the song?
