It sounds like I added two tone knobs both turned to 11! 
Now just waiting on my covers that I'm going to paint purple!

Dude, use the old pickups' cover (after youve opened them) and put it over the aftermaths then post pics of how the stock pickups look inside...please?

The old pickups are sealed as one piece, thats why I had to order some plastic covers.

I posted this clip in the recording studio section but figured some of you might not see it. I made this little song last night and it's the first decent clip I've recorded with the Aftermaths. I think they sound pretty good considering I haven't actually made an Axe Fx patch specifically for them!

That sounds interesting. I'm doing some similar stuff blending electronica elements with my 8 strings. What VST are you using?

Just the stock ones that came with Ableton Live Intro
I know American musical supply had them when I bought mine, not sure if they do now or not.

i dig the tone man, how much of it would you credit the axe fx? i have an agile with coldsweats, but i figure i really need an axe fx to achieve the same kinda tone... i have a gsp1101 now, got some cool patches and IRs but something is lacking there...

Probably 90 % honestly. You should've heard my recordings when I used pod farm
. I'm pretty bad at tweaking and these are some of the best metal tones I've gotten out of it yet. So you can see that it could be 10x better than it is now. The thing is I've had the Axe Fx for about 5 months and still haven't scratched the surface tone wise. I'm slowly figuring it out and progressing though!

'grats, i was pretty worried about the pickups too. Would really like to try out some BKP aftermaths in the bridge and coldsweats in the neck. Not even sure if they are available as 8's yet. GOD DAM IT NEED MONEEYYY!!!!!!

Where did you find plastic covers that size? I've been looking for something like that for a while and I could usually only find 6 or 7 string passived sized "EMG style" pup covers.

I believe these are the correct ones. Got Guitar Parts? : Guitar Jones USA
I found out about them in that 8 string active to passive mega thread. They are the same size as the stock pickups or EMGs you just have to do a little trimming off of the bottom to make them fit height wise. I think the 35 model is the one for 7 string pickups.

If you are looking into buying an RGA8 all I can say is a set of 10-46+60+80 strings and a good intonation make it sound and play about 10x better! The 60 and 80 don't intonate perfectly all the way, but they get close enough to not notice! Boy I'm in love all over again!
