    Question about ERGs and how they play with Bass.

    I am getting into the wonderful world of ERGs, cab sims, IRs, and drum software, and I am having a blast recording songs at home. I recently bought a 7 string and have it tuned to Drop G. I also have a 5 string bass that is tuned the same. Now that I've been bit by the bug, I am curious about...

    Is .064 Gauge good enough for Drop E?

    So I've been wondering lately if I can use D'Addario NYXL set from .011 - .064 gauges and if they can go down to Drop E and still sound good and clear. I use a JBM27 Ibanez and been using a Ernie Ball 8 string set .013 - .074 gauges but the highest tuning I can get is Drop F. I usually play from...

    Problems with bass in drop E

    Hi! I recently got a string set from Kalium/Cirkle K with a .200 bottom string, intending to tune an octave below the guitar that I use. However, the sustain is terrible on anything but the open string and there's not a lot of clarity in the notes. What's strange is that before getting these...

    Anyone tried out the new ernie ball 9-80 8 string set?

    I have an 8 string with a 25.5" scale which always went HORRIBLE with the 10-74 set and I'm thinking this string set just might be the answer to my prayers. Its something along the lines of 9-46+64+80. Its not perfect but its a HELL of a lot better than any other mass prodced 8 string set...

    String Gauge for Drop E 8 String

    What would you recommend to be the optimal gauges for an 8 string tuned to Drop E (EBEADGBE) with a 27 inch scale? (Along with the ability to tune the E up to an F if the need arises) Looking for heavy bottom and a medium-skinny top. I've heard people say a .80 for the E, others have said use...

    La Bella?

    I was looking into getting a 10-46+60+80 set from labella for a 27" scale. Its going to be in standard and ocassionally drop E and F standard. Anyone wanna give some reception on La Bella strings? Never tried em. Also do you think an .080 is going to be too heavy for F#? Just looking for a...

    A 7-string for 8-string tunings?

    Hey guys! So, I've been wanting an 8-string for a long time, but I came to think of that I might never actually need the high E, and I am fairly used to 7-strings now, and I really don't feel like having another string and having an even wider neck. I still feel I have to get even better with...
