Anyone have an SB-7?
I have seen some mention of the SB-7 on the wiki and a few other places and am intrigued. From what I can tell, they use a single pickup, not the ACTV-2 as on the SB8. Anybody got pics or info?

Re: Anyone have an SB-7?
SB7's are Uber rare as far as I know. I am not sure if the fretboard is skinnier than an SB8 but I'm thinking it might be? I tried to find some info to no avail.
By the way what happened to stickiwiki?!?! That had all sorts of good stuff. WHat happened to all that info, arghhh.

Re: Anyone have an SB-7?
SB7's came before SB8's, (Not just a string count) they had a thinner neck and were strictly MONO tap instruments meant to hold the bass role in music. I remember seeing a few for sale on E-Bay some years back. The SB8 and NS Stick can split in stereo and play bass and melody but the SB7 was for all practical purposes a bass instrument. That said, as Stick players we all know musical rules are made to be broken! And hey wferguson, where did you get that photo of me?

Re: Anyone have an SB-7?
I remember when the SB-7 came out ('97 or '98?). I think they only lasted for one production run before the SB-8s came out and became the norm for Stick bass. So yes, they're pretty rare.

Re: Anyone have an SB-7?
I remember the newsletter when it was introduced. Wanted one immediately. Glad I waited till I grew up and got my 12-string DBR. Much more room for wrong notes.
