2 lower strings, are you going down to F# Meshuggah style or lower?

Sounds good though, have you got any pics/specs?

I am (one day) gonna build a Warmoth Baritone 7 string, which would be much the same thing, sans high E...

It'll be F# or G, I may tune the whole lot up a semitone, but I won't be playing Meshuggah on it, though I do like Fredrik's solo work

One question, why?

dpmasunder · « **Reply #35 on:** June 30, 2005, 09:09:55 AM »

Because 7 isn't enough anymore :lol:
With 8 strings I have more notes available at any given hand position, so in essense I'm lazy.
I find myself wanting to jump quickly between low and high notes, and wanting to do things that an 8 would make easier.
It's not just about getting lower notes, if that were the case I'd tune a bari 6 to F#.
Now you know.

One question for you. Why not?

:lol: I missed the post office on Friday, they'll be on their way Monday.
Just 4 coils for the time being, should I send spares just in case?

Steve-Mr Pig 2U · « **Reply #40 on:** July 09, 2005, 01:30:50 PM »

Just the 4 coils will be fine. Tims away this week, but we will get started on them asap!

Awesome! Thanks BKP.

Awesome indeed, let us know how they sound in the Guitar.

Are they modeled on a current BK?

The wind was a variation on the warpig set, slightly tweaked for the 8 strings.
