I'll never own one as it will be far too heavy, but what a fantastic instrument!

With a plectrum.

The Duncan/Basslines active pickup and EQ system will be good. (I have the same combination in some of my Yamaha Attitude Plus basses.) Just add the appropriate overdrive/distortion.

This with a guitarist playing a 12 string electric and 2 drummers. What a racket that would make!

The thinner strings are duplicates - more of them to fill out the sound rather than an 8 string where there is only 1 octave string.

I had a go on a Dean once and loved it. Shame it was about 12 lb!

Oh my, I hope they do a left-handed version! 

edit; turns out that they do, check it out at 35 mins for three songs.

*does it do NOT how does it do . Sausage fingers and autocorrect apparently.
