Description

A unique classic. The Hagstrom H8-II 8-String Bass provides you with a distinct bass sound. With 8 strings the H8-II has a lot of depth to its sound. The sparkling sound of the late 60s is back. Hagstrom have reissued this legend so now todays bass players can experience its special sound and playing style. The string set up uses four standard bass strings and four tighter bass strings tuned an octave below. Hagstroms own Dyna-Rail humbuckers produce a big sound to accompany the higher registers of the octave strings. Irresistibly unique rich timbral quality and an extraordinary construction make this a must have for the bass player looking to expand on their sonic vocabulary.

Bass Guitars

Bass guitars form the backbone of a band’s sound, sitting between rhythm and harmony to give music depth, weight, and movement. Available in electric and acoustic forms, they focus on delivering strong, controlled low frequencies while remaining clear and responsive to playing dynamics. Factors like scale length, string type, and pickup design all influence tone and feel, allowing bass guitars to suit a wide range of styles and techniques. Whether laying down solid grooves or exploring more melodic lines, a good bass guitar anchors the music and brings everything together.

Explore electric, acoustic and bass guitars across a wide range of playing styles, body shapes and specifications. The most useful differences include scale length, construction, pickup type, neck profile, materials and whether the instrument is intended for amplified, acoustic or hybrid use. Use the narrower guitar categories and feature tags to compare instruments with similar designs rather than relying on appearance alone.

8 String

Eight-string guitars extend the range further than standard six- and seven-string designs. Longer or multi-scale construction is often used to balance low-string tension with upper-register playability. Compare tuning, scale arrangement, neck width, pickups, bridge and string gauges for the intended style.

Bass Guitar

Bass guitars are lower-pitched instruments designed to provide the rhythmic and harmonic foundation of a performance. Scale length, string count, pickup type, active or passive electronics and body construction influence feel, output and tonal range.
