Why doesn't Fender make a 7 or 9 or 10 or 12 string Precision or Jazz bass or 8 or 6? 11?

Probably because the number of people who would actually buy one could be counted on the fingers of one hand. :lol:

I did have a go on a Hagstrom 8 string bass once. Funky thing, but one of those guitars you would possibly drag out for one song every now and then, hard to justify actually buying one.

Fender doesn't produce ERBs having more than 6 strings.

If you want such kind of multi-stringed bass, buy a Conklin or an Adler.

Most Yammys use a long 35"-scale length (except the BBNE6, which employs a 36"-scale).

The BBNE6 is the 6-string version of Nathan East's namesake signature model. It is not available as a regular Artist series bass.

Nate doesn't use this bass regularly nowadays since he switched back to his polar white TRB6P with the piezos a couple of years ago.
