How do you like the feel of the multiscale board?

 

[Steve Vai]

I really like it a lot on the 8-string. The string tension is awesome. The high E is an inch longer than the NOVA 26.5 vs 25.5 and the Low E is 28 so it takes a couple minutes going back and forth to re-acclimate.

What is that you're trying to learn, an Yngwie thing? Since I've started playing again that looks like something to kick-start my alternate picking.

I don't have enough strings.

I don't have enough strings.

You can easily fix that.

Too many strings! I have steels in E9, C6, G, D, E, C diatonic, C6/A7. There's no amount of practice I can put in to be proficient on any one, let alone 5 or 6. Maybe another lifetime. Press on regardless....

But modern 8 string players cheat!! From high to low it's E,B,G,D,A,E,A,E

Yea, but I need to get reasonably proficient with the 6 string, and my hands ain’t big, everything is a stretch. Right now I have this:



But I want this, for not rational reason other than Dime rules:

Proficiency is an un-obtainable goal though, as your definition will change throughout the journey. Like cycling, it never gets easier, you just go faster.

At this point I'll start with getting back to where I was first, then take the next step.

Yes sir R9! 2021 model. And it plays and sounds even better than it looks!

Just as I'm assembling my wall of sound I hear there's now a ban on tubes. Just great. Another impossible to get item with prices going through the roof. Time to pull out the old Peavey and Roland Jazz Chorus..
