Liked this for the licorice promo

Great looking bass My 9 string Conklin fits in the Mondo bass M1 👍

I love black liquorice

Now that's a bass. Take back the low end from 8 string guitars and let them tune A E A D G B E A. I like the timbre of a bass's higher strings instead of an 8 string guitar's low F# string. As a guitarist, I'm still waiting on Floyd Rose to make a multi scale floating bridge with a shorter A string so the high A can be pulled sharp without breaking. The Dean Rusty Cooley custom model had a 23.5" high A string but was fixed bridge. My guess is if an 8 string with a high A is made the low A string will be 25.5" and the high A will have to be less than 23.5" for when the bar is pulled up a major third. That will probably mean some sharply slanted frets.
