[QUOTE="ZombieHunter, post: 2096108, member: 5791"] Active Pickups! Man you gotta get yourself some Bareknuckle Aftermath or Rebel yells, WORLD of difference in Articulation and Clarity with string skipping and sweep picking, as well as tapping and harmonics, I use to use the EMG-81 myself on every guitar but after hearing Misha and the like's tone knew I had to go passive, try it out on one of your favorite guitars and you will be like "why...how....**** batteries!". The 8 string to me is just so I don't have to setup and intonate my 7's as much (hate Floyd Rose, love Microtuners), I mostly play in standard with a drop A or ADGCFAD or ACGCFAD, with an 8 string I would probably just keep it setup for F#ACGCFAD so I could tune that low C up to D with little to no fuss. Mostly just want the other 7 and 8 so I can have one guitar in EVERY possible tuning I play, so I only have to setup and intonate once a year, instead of every time I tune, because even with blocked floyd's I have to slightly adjust the truss rod, and slightly adjust the bridge....sigh....HURRY UP OLA! I am impatient too when it comes to collaboration, its like, seriously? with all these tools available to create WHEREVER you may be there is NO excuse, none at all. Only artist that could be considered industrial I listen to regularly is NIN or anything Trent Reznor is a part of, that guy is a freaking genius, not only musically but commercially he is probably one of the better off independent musicians there is besides RadioHead. I use to play on some Gibsons then all the headstocks started snapping at the nut so I researched and found that its a notorious gibson flaw that using super heavy gauge strings will result in broken gibsons they just are not built to take .64's or larger, broke 2 SG standards and a Les Paul Studio all at the Nut, and all within 2 years of each other. Just for reference I use .74's-13's on my 7's, .64-13 on 6's, 8 I will probably use custom set with an .80 on top. [/QUOTE]
