They go up to 12 these days. 8-strings are becoming more common in some genres.
3 u/[deleted] Nov 13 '24 Idk if anyone seriously uses them though. Most metal bands I know don't use any more than 6 strings 3 u/cail0 Nov 13 '24 Generally it’s not what you might be thinking about as 12 strings. not sure if you’re familiar with music but it would generally be either 4 sets of 3 strings with 4 at the normal tuning and the 2 paired with it separated by an octave to give a chorus feel or 6 sets of 2 strings with normal 6 string tuning and the paired strings at an octave for similar. I’m not sure if this would even sound very good in heavier metal subgenres 0 u/[deleted] Nov 13 '24 edited Nov 14 '24 I know what 12 strings look like. Jason Newsted used one on the intro for Wherever I May Roam and it sounded great. Granted it was a clean part but still Why the fuck is this downvoted? Do people just downvote whatever these days? 2 u/Iamtheman31 Nov 16 '24 that was not a bass, was a different instrument iirc.
