He's getting an 8 with a low B and high A though.

Any BK is fine for a low B. The A-Pig is the least desirable for it, but it still does the job just fine.

For an 8 string keep power very low, I'd go for black dogs.

Care to elaborate/translate to an idiot? :lol:

High out put pickups + super low notes equals super mush.

Get low ouput pickups, thus improving clarity, and let your amp do the work in the gain department - Which should be no problem with a herbert.

*what MDV said^^^* :lol: Bb, Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Bb, Eb, Ab!

This came up in Roo's baritone thread (i think it was this one) and Tim recommended Black Dogs
Warpig, MQ,
Miracle Man-Trilogy Suite, Cold Sweats, Black Guards, Rebel Yells & Irish Tours!

Soon we will have all BK Humbuckers mentioned in this thread ;-)

And then we can start on the Missisipi Queens ! - That other remarkable item from the 'vintage' range, that can actually weigh in against the 'contemporary' pickups.

I don't think that MQs come in 7 or 8 string versions.

Which is a pity because I want a neck one for a 7!
A-Pig 7s, Miracle Man & Mule, Cold Sweats... Expensive kit and no talent posse.

Yeah I have black dogs in my baritone 6-string in drop-A tuning. VERY clear :)
