So who is getting an 8 string Majesty!!?

I thought the 8th string was above the high E… it’s below the low B?
It’s an additional lower string. Usually tuned to F# but Animals as Leaders popularized tuning it to E - so an E below the 6th string E. This gives you “drop D” positioning on the 3 lowest strings or you can just bar all 8 strings and play the “E shape” (5th fret A chord for example) and have all usable notes in the chord.

They literally don't have a dedicated bass player, do they? Just dueling 8 strings.
