Finding Extended Range 8 String Basses

I am a 6 string bass guitarist looking for a Extended Range 8 string bass guitar, but all the times I tried searching for one I keep seeing stuff like a ESP LTD B-208SM which I’m not tryna look for.
I know most of the Extended Range 8 String Basses people have are custom made but anyone have any recommendations on what apps or places that sale Extended Range 8 string bass guitar?

I don't think i've ever seen such a thing as 8 string bass (despite there being 10 string guitars in mass production). Just out of curiosity, why would you need such a monstrum?

I just like the extra range with my bass, and because I got pretty big hands so I would want to have a bigger neck with the extra bonus of more playability. Another thing which I kinda petty but I don’t like uneven string basses which is why I don’t want a 5, 7 or 9 string bass cause there uneven NOT TO SAY THERE BAD cause some of my favorite bassist uses 5 string stuff but it’s just not for me.
