              the only problems, so far, are the neck was a different scale lenth and the nut i filed my own slots for the smaller strings. scale lenth wasn't much of a problem sinc i had to change the bridge anyway.

                          Huh? Hamer made 8- and 12-string basses in the late '70s. It's just high octave strings added.
