I mean once you tune an 8th string down to E its pretty much up to you whether its an extended range guitar with extra low notes or an extended range bass with extra high notes. The way I tune my 9 string, its both, lol. Low A (5-string bass B dropped a step) through E standard.

All I hear is 10-finger tapping and “look at all this room for activities!”

...Obviously from someone more skilled than me.

lol, lots of room for activities!
I mostly use it to make broken computer and robot sex noises.

it might be same pitch as a bass but it sounds way different. Just get a real bass and compare in person, not even close imho.

get off my turf

This in chartreuse with one more string and 28.5-31" fan would pretty much be my dream guitar. The indentations around the pickups look perfect on the headless body.

A very SSO quote, if there ever was one.

I'm aware. It's called joking around and its lots of fun.

Hey, can't go around spending a ton of money on stuff that's not exactly what I want.

I'd really want one of those headless bois but that extra .5" does something weird to the midrange on 8s that drives me nuts. I'm 90% sure it's just a quirk of my ears because I've never found anybody else who hears it, but it's a dealbreaker for me.

nope. Felt the same way with my 080S. That is why I ultimately did not bond with it

extra 0.5 compared to what?

Guessing he meant the straight scale model - but it's actually 1" - 28" for the fan fret models and 27" for the non (which headless doesn't come in)

 

[Hollowway]

So has anyone put an order in for a headless 8 trem model yet?

I've got the yellow beast headed my way after it spends some time with Paul Ozz for a bit!

Yeah that's what I meant! And I don't know why I keep thinking they're 27.5"

Do u know if he'd already made a youtube video b4 he returned it?

He's going to be making a few videos, but we just recently shipped it, so he has yet to receive it. In the meantime, Mark Shoebottom made an amazing overview video of our prototype H/06R:

^ nice demo, but the guitar tone was a bit low/quiet, as if it needed a gain boost, was that how it was recorded or blame the M6s?

Just a matter of taste. Lundgren are perhaps the best pickup I can think of for high gain (for my taste anyway)

I'm thinking along the same lines as Tom that it's mostly related to how Mark dialed in those tones. The M Series pickups are definitely high output and have a lot of snarl/growl to them but they can clean up nicely when you roll the volume off. I always take tone demos with a grain of salt given that everyone has different ears, I'm not hearing it through my gear, it's not always in the context of a mix, etc.
