No...just no. hahaha. Actually it might sound really cool with the super-wide gap of nothing for like 2 octaves between the guitar and vocals. I did a song like that before and it was COOL.now try singing one octave lower to your favorite metallica and Sabbath :lol
This posting is prompted by my friend recently telling me he "really wanted an 8-string guitar". He also said that it's "cool but if the bass guitar also added 2 lower strings, you wouldn't even be able to hear those notes". Not to mention a bass amp probably wouldn't be able to reproduce those notes.
So honestly, help me understand why metal bands use 8-string guitars....Is the bass guitar actually playing in the SAME octave as the guitar when the guitarist uses the lowest string? That seems lame. I could see using an 8-string for solo pieces like Joe Pass or Segovia used to do. But this makes zero sense to me when an 8-string guitar is accompanied by a bass guitar and band.
What am I missing? I'm not bashing, I want to understand.
We use 8's and have a bass player and IMO it's working real nice!Standard tuning on both.I look at the 8 as a extended range guitar,use it only when the music needs it.
AND it's blast to play

Cheers!
if It's for gen 1 you want mine?Even if Meshuggah's tone didn't sound great solo'd (it does) - it all comes down to how it sits in the mix.
And someone please post a DJENT patch.
808 +6.5 dB @ 1413HzMaybe someone with an Axe II could chime in with the eq settings / filters on the djent patch. A recent Guitar World feature on the "djent scene" talked about the eq'ing Periphery uses for their rhythm guitars also.
