Here are sound samples from a Rogue 8-string bass.

All of these were recorded direct into my board.  No post processing, no compression, no amp models, no nothing unless otherwise noted.  The onboard EQ was set flat for all samples.

Two octave E Major scale played finger style

Two octave E Major scale played with a pick

Neck pickup solo'd

Bridge pickup solo'd

Bass in passive mode

A bit of "Achilles Last Stand" - the only difference here is that I've now got the bass going through a Sansamp BDDI that is providing just a bit more edge.
