I'd probably stick with the La Bella crazy 8s set ... but I don't want any flop at all, that's why I'm taking my Schecter Hellraiser C-8 back, because even up at 0.80...
The difference between the 2 is literally only fret dots, scale length and $100 ... I've had problems with other 8s F# being far too floppy (26.5" scale), so I assume 28.625" is the way to go to fix that?
Damn man I didn't know that, that's very cool ... I assume it's just as good on a 28.625" scale neck as well? Which scale do you guys recommend I go for?
Too bad they have no UK distributors, gonna have to be waiting weeks on strings. :/
I've had constant headaches with a Schecter Hellraiser C-8 (26.5 inch scale) because the scale is just too short and there isn't tensions out there that will allow you to have low action and no buzz ... that's why I'm so concerned about tensions.
Needless to say, that piece of shit is going...
For a non multiscale 8 string this set makes absolutely no sense, imo, and I posted here to see if anybody had tried them.
And for 8s tension really, really does matter if you don't want buzz everywhere.
So how good is this set really? The gauges seem very odd to me, it seems like some mad mixture of both 9s and 10s.
For those who don't know it's:
009, .012, .015, .022, .030, .040, .054, .074
So guys, I was thinking of picking up an Agile 8 because of the extra scale length on those babies ... do you think I could achieve somewhat low action and no fret buzz with the bigger scale? Cause right now on my Schecter Hellraiser C-8 26.5 I can't ...
Do you find the 0.74 to be enough tension? I'm not sure how much it differs from the Daddario 0.80 but I like my strings to be nice and tight with no flop at all.
Do any of you guys out there own a Schecter Hellraiser C-8 cause I'd love to know how on earth you've got it set up with low action (if you have) because I'm finding it to be a fucking nightmare. I've played around with so many different gauges now, I've moved up from a set of Daddario 9s to 10s...
