Use of the low B string beyond the 7th fret

[coolmaster310]

I've seen dozens and dozens of 5-string bass demos on Youtube. It's hard enough to find videos featuring players who strike the B string more than once per minute... but not ONCE have I seen or heard ANYONE play the B beyond the 7th fret!!

Personally, I'm a big fan of the sounds I can get with it on my SR655, but I want to hear its use from other players on other basses in other musical settings. If anyone is familiar with literally any video or recording that features the B used up to or beyond the 12th fret, let it be known!!!

Bonus points if you know of one or more bassists who routinely use the B in this manner!!

My first bass was a 5 string, haven't played it much since getting some nice 4s, but I recently got another 5 string and I didn't realize how much I missed the low string!

That being said, I rarely use it that high up. I find it's most useful for accent notes below the root. I very rarely play roots on it unless Im playing in B or D. I'm much more comfortable when I have lower notes within reach.
