All the 12 string basses I've seen were doubled
upper octaves. That is one piece of gear I must own someday. The sound is
positively massive. Best exponents I've heard of the instrument are Doug from
King's X, Tom from Cheap Trick and the guy from Big Wreck (the tone on "That
Song" is awesome). I believe Hamer 12 string basses are the most common I've
seen around.
Maybe I should invest in one and start a band with
me on 12 string bass, drummer with a double-kick setup and a guitar player with
a 6/12 string Jimmy Page doubleneck. Not to be excessive or
anything...

doubled upper octave.
