In this time, they made many fine and innovative instruments, played by the likes of David Bowie, Elvis Presley, Brian Ferry and many more. The H8 was the first eight string bass, and quickly spawned many multi-stringed bass rivals it was only manufactured for a brief period in the late 1960s. The strings were set in pairs, each tuned an octave apart, so it was played like a four string. It is of course possible to tune in 5ths or any other interval. The pole pieces are wider than those on previous Hagstrom bass pickups, to allow for the additional string. Vintage , Vintage Bass, Rare, Spector bass, Warwick, Zon, Gibson.
