So I was browsing for amp's, seeins how Jesus' birthday is so close, and instead of amp's i stumbled across this 8 string. It's look caught my eye more than anything, and its fairly inexpensive. Has anyone played/own one of these, and if so, how are they and do they rock your world?

i prefer the look of the LTD 8 stringer...

i cant say i have played one but the way most people talk about schecters on here it must be pretty good

hmm.. haven't tried it.. but looks solid ;)

" it makes keyboard or rhythm guitar unnecessary! "

:lol:

But seriously, its an 8 string octaved, dont expect any crazy slap, tapping, or speedy playing.

[sixner]

you can slap?.. Tryxx had a recording of some popping if i remember right...

not sure where they're at now though.......

and, Johnny from Avenged Sevenfold does some speedy-ish playing.. *looks up video*...

its not impossible to play fast or to slap, tap, pop on them etc, its not not as natural or as comfortable as on an unoctaved bass.
