why do you need two B2s?
Haha, no secret
1) Dæmoness 6
2) Rico 7
3) Rico 6
4) Blackmachine B2 (26 months and counting!)
also, possibly a further Rico 7..
Thanks for the lovely comments dudes.
Over the 2 years since I put the deposit down, I've changed between wanting a B2, a B7, a fanned 7, a fanned 8, back to a B7, back to a fanned 7, back to a B7 then back to the B2 , but now I am certain I will stick to my choice. It's going to be similar but complimentary to my current B2 - that thing is still the best guitar I've ever touched (other than perhaps Misha's B2). It may be overkill to have two similar guitars but there is something special and "right" about the 6-string format to me, especially with Doug's creations.
Steve, I've never been overly taken with 8-strings. They can be awesome fun, but I always find it difficult to use them to their full potential in a creative way. My bandmate Pete uses a cool tuning for the lowest two strings that makes a lot of sense when used alongside 6s and 7s (EBGDAEAE), but I don't feel the need to own an 8 myself.
Just get a different wood combo from your current B2, problem solved
Honestly I'm the same way with 8s, I'm basically getting mine because I had the opportunity to and it was a good price because it's a prototype. It'll be fun to play with, and I'm sure it will get played, but I don't see it becoming one of my main guitars.
Speaking of Pete, how's the Red Seas Fire material coming along? Actually might want to take this to PM as it's wandering off the topic of the Daemoness more than a bit
no harm in some 'jacking.
Cheers Dave and Alex
Ah well, it's the end of the thread anyway, no harm in some 'jacking.
Well, the wood combo is going to be pretty similar - sticking with the chambered mahogany back/maple top of some sort (either burl or one-piece quilt, natural), RW neck with ebony fillets of course. I sourced a big chunk of wicked looking ziricote that will be used for the board/headstock.
The main difference will be the bridge - I'll be going with the Hannes.
Yeah, I hear you on the 8, I certainly wouldn't say no if someone gave me one, but I'm not about to go out of my way to get an übercustom 8 stringer.
RSF stuff is doing good, once I'm back from my travels we will do the final tracking of the songs , and if things go to plan we might have a singer to work with too (FINALLY!)!
Cool. The Hannes bridge looks intriguing, I want to try one on something at some point. My to buy list is way too long already I need to stop adding things
Well it wasn't given to me, but the price was right and I had a blast screwing around with the Agile 8 I had a while ago, so I figured why not. The world needed a fr00tay 8, who was I to say no It bumped a 7 I was going to order, but since I have two 7s in progress already, I figured why not.
Very cool. What style vocals are you guys going for? I know it really makes no difference but IMHO it'd be awesome to hear something Scar-Symmetry'ish with a combination of great cleans and growls
I have to say, as awesome as this is looking, the holes drilled for the strings don't look exactly in a row? I suppose the bridge will cover these though, thinking about it.
My order from Dylan (if I go through with it) was going to have a Hannes bridge - will be interesting to see how yours turns out.
Yeah, sorry, I didn't mean that you were getting one for free, I was just illustrating my feelings towards them
The Hannes is an absolute monster - so comfortable and makes a massive contribution to the tone of a guitar. If only they made a 7-string version.
As far as vocals go, we are definitely going for a good mix of cleans and screams, but I don't think we're looking for something too Scar Symmetry-ish. Ideally, we want them to have a very British flavour. Anyway, it's early days, so fingers crossed things work out. That said, I've grown cynical after all of the people that have failed to deliver material.
On another note, Dylan and I finalised the specs on the 6er. It's going to be extremely fr00t
Yup I knew what you meant... was trying to be slightly humorous, but it's hard to convey expression in text even with smilies.
Any examples somebody in the vein you're thinking of vocal-wise? Inquiring minds want to know
fr00t is good... specs please
