I think for most part you'd be trying to keep it in tune! |

| Has sort of an Italian Renaissance look to it but there would have been nowhere to plug it in back then. |

Location: Phoenix AZ | HAMER has been making a 12 string bass for years. Basically it's a regular 4 string bass, with each of the 4 courses tripled.
I think this Warrior is exactly the same thing, just in a 5-string version. Each of the 5 courses is tripled = 15 strings. |

Location: Chehalis, Washington | That's pretty much the idea. And I agree with Jack's sentiment...
Hang it up somewhere conspicuous, but just above comfortable arm's reach, so no one expects you to take it down and play it when they come over... :eek: |

Imagine what it weighs. You'd practically have to be a weightlifter to lug it around a stage. |

Location: Latitude 39.56819, Longitude -105.080066 | I wonder if this was custom made for someone. Kinda hard to think that a small builder would just build a bass like this on a whim. Based on Warrior quality and pricing, it would not be cheap. |
