Based on Hagstrom’s original 1967 design, the H8-II combines vintage character with modern reliability for rock, progressive music, alternative styles, studio layering, and any player seeking a bass voice beyond the ordinary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHistoric 8-String Bass Character\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHagstrom was an early pioneer of the serial-production 8-string bass. The octave-string layout adds shimmer, definition, and upper-harmonic complexity while retaining the weight and authority of a traditional bass foundation. The result can range from broad, orchestral support to cutting, aggressive textures that remain unmistakably bass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDyna-Rail Pickups and Flexible Switching\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo Hagstrom Dyna-Rail humbuckers provide a powerful, articulate voice, while a push\/pull coil split built into the volume control expands the available tonal range. Four slider switches independently control the neck pickup, bridge pickup, master-tone filtering, and mute\/gain-reduction function. A kill switch on the upper bout adds another expressive performance option.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eShort-Scale Feel with Hagstrom Stability\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe all-mahogany double-cutaway body is paired with a bolt-on hard Canadian maple neck in a comfortable C profile. A 30.75-inch scale keeps the instrument approachable despite the paired-string configuration, while Hagstrom’s H-Expander truss rod and Resinator fingerboard support stability, consistency, and fast response.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstrument: 8-string bass with four octave-string pairs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesign: Double cutaway based on Hagstrom’s original 1967 H8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody: Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck: Bolt-on hard Canadian maple, C profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTruss Rod: Hagstrom H-Expander\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length: 30.75 inches (781 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard: Hagstrom Resinator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Radius: 15 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrets: 21 medium jumbo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInlays: Pearloid dots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut: Graph Tech Black Tusq, 40 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickups: 2 Hagstrom Dyna-Rail humbuckers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControls: Master volume with push\/pull coil split\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitching: Neck pickup, bridge pickup, master-tone filter, mute\/gain reduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdditional Control: Upper-bout kill switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: Hagstrom adjustable string-through-body bridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuners: 4 Hagstrom 22:1 and 4 Hagstrom 18:1 chrome die-cast tuners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Wild Cherry Transparent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded Case: Official Hagstrom B-60 hardshell case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAvailability\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAvailability is verified with the U.S. Hagstrom distributor before shipment.
