Re: Elliot sharp's eight string guitar

["luca" <lucafeed@tin.it>]

I have played Elliott's 8string when I was in ny with him.
The spacing between the strings is fairly narrow, say like a
klein/steinberger, if not narrower.
Pick ups are bartolini for bass and it has just one output.
He uses a Boss gt5 as main processor, a line 6 looper and a 2nd edition
whammy.
He goes in a fender twin or a bass amp.
Sometimes he puts a mouse pad on the body to control the Max plug in of his
Mac.
The tuning is regular, the two added strings are below the low E string in
steps of 4ths.

My first reaction when I embraced her has been: wow ! and now how do I play
this ?

His (very long) fingers move as an octopus on that fingerboard!
