  • Now how intersting is this?



    An 8 string Ibadinger...is this something new or did I get caught sleeping? (Rip-freakin-Iban-winkle)

    I'm nout sure what I'd do with an 8 string but whatever it is, I think I'm ready to try.

          Listen to Meshuggah and you'll see why they now use 8 strings. F, Bb, Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Bb, Eb.

          Most people would tune it to F#, B, E, A, D, G, B, E
          I feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.

            Exactly, these are Meshuggah model guitars for some serious prog low end... Respect to them for making it work, I have no idea how to play like that but it's really cool to see some innovators in what is mostly a stagnant genre.

                At Namm one of the Ibanez guys said he had a proto 8 stringer that was tuned low to high F# A D G C F A D.

                    I was thinking it's more of a tapping thing. Like what the kids are doing with the basses these days.

                        Okay, this has just gotten ridiculous. Even though I don't really care for 7 stringers, I know some of you guys dig em, but this thing?...............It's really starting to look like someone's overcompensating for something.
