Eight String Bass Guitar - 15-string Bass Guitars

15-string Bass Guitars

Fieldy from the nu-metal band Korn has used a 15-string bass in recording their eighth studio album, however none of the tracks where it was used made the final cut. It is a tripled five-string bass and was custom by Fieldy's longtime endorser Ibanez and called the K-15, in tradition with Korn's other signature instruments the Ibanez K5 and the Ibanez K7.

Famous quotes containing the words bass and/or guitars:

    How are we to know that a Dracula is a key-pounding pianist who lifts his hands up to his face, or that a bass fiddle is the doghouse, or that shmaltz musicians are four-button suit guys and long underwear boys?

    The present century has not dealt kindly with the farmer. His legends are all but obsolete, and his beliefs have been pared away by the professors at colleges of agriculture. Even the farm- bred bards who twang guitars before radio microphones prefer “I’m Headin’ for the Last Roundup” to “Turkey in the Straw” or “Father Put the Cows Away.”
