Hi everybody,
I've been looking around for a while at 8 string guitars, and I finally ended up with a schecter damien elite 8.
I've read good thing about it and I loved the feel when I got it. I didn't have time to set it up properly because the next day I left for my vacation as where I am now. The thing that is bugging me is that mainly the low F# sounds quite muddy and i have to tilt my head towards the amp to define the note that I'm playing. Now I have read that this could be the stock strings, but is just wanna see what you guys have to say about it. I have an Engl Thunder 50 tube amp, and a zoom x5 fx pedal. I mainly play melodic and progressive stuff, so I want it to sound heavy when distorted, but still be able to here the tones, mainly the low ones. It doesn't have to exactly sound alike, but my aim is to sound a bit like modern day babylon.
I've been browsing around for quite a bit on this forum and found lots of useful information, so if any of you would be able to help me out here that would be awesome!
Rock on guys
