I've always wanted a Burns with the "Wild Dog Sound".

That greenburst is sexy.

That is a sexy guitar.
Adding that to my list to get one day.
I haven't got any clips though since I still don't have a 12.
Really want to pick up that Dano though.
If I do I'll see if I can put together some clips but I don't really have any legit recording stuff

I've already emailed a guy about trading for one of my basses but he wasn't interested
He was cool and told me to let him know if I sold my stuffs though
But I'm thinking I might just hit it now and worry about selling stuff later
Someone give me a reason not to

The price ain't bad, maybe lower than the average I've seen, though I haven't been hunting for one. Hopefully it has a hard case, since those are hollow bodied and not the sturdiest.

You could hold out for a double-neck six & twelve to come up, since they tend to be fairly moderately priced when I see them come up. But they aren't as practical if you just want the twelve and they don't come in sparkle.

If I had the money to spare, I probably would.

I had no idea that these were hollow bodied but that's kind of awesome.
There's actually a Dano double neck in the same area, but it's going for $750 and if I'm spending that kind of money I'd rather go find a nice Fender Jag or Jazz.
I think I might send the guy an email

This track turned into noise in a hurry and it's a nine string, not a twelve, and the extra strings are tuned to fifths instead of octaves...but here ya go.

^^^ That's awesome!

Now I just want a 12 to try weird tunings like that

This was done with the dillion 12 I posted earlier in this thread.
Home recorded with cheap gear.

I played a 12 string dean bass a few times while getting amp service/oggling/trying pedals.

Very nifty.

Thanks team fuzz members for taking the time to post these. This does make me want to buy that Burns. I am in a predicament though..I am saving up to move out of my small apartment into a single family house so that I can buy a Verellen Meatsmoke and kill my idols with sonic death. So, I think that has to take priority right now.

well yeah... get the meatsmoke! Lol I'd kill for one of those. Meatsmoke would just work so well for what I do.

Gotta get the house first. I'll tell you what though, the Meatsmoke purchase will happen before I buy any furniture to fill out the house. That is my vow to you.

Who needs a couch when you can just sit on badass amps?

Dude with the Dano just flaked on me
And the search continues

MrNovember wrote:Random (slightly on topic) question but is there a reason that the octave string is always before the root string?

Probably because the root is thicker so it makes it less likely that you miss the octave.

how well do 12 strings do tuned to C standard or drop C? what gauge strings? (and where do you find sets?!?)
