You're new 8 looks amazing! Please posts some sound clips when you get a chance.

where should i? youtube? soundclick? i need to get something better to record with.. maybe this isnt the spot to ask but anyone recommend anything to record with thats less than 200$ (maybe more depending on the quality) ?

it does sound great.. i think the 808's (dont have any have used tho) might be better for the heavier distorted stuff but these cepheus pups sound great for clean and distortion.. im still tweaking the tone so yea but i am more than happy with the guitar im thinking i might buy another with the 808's (or maybe put some lundgren m8's) in it but blue..

Ordering one next week...

I'm pretty used to playing a standard Bass and a 25.5 scale 7 string.

I'm just having trouble deciding between getting a 28.8" or a 30"?

I went for the 30'' Intrepid with zero baritone scale experience, and it's really not as bad as it may seem. It took me about a week of playing to get used to the longer scale, but now I've built up a bit more hand strength and dexterity.

I don't think you can beat a Line 6 Guitar Port for the money, but I'm sure if someone knows of something better they'll tell you.

I've had some really good results w/ the BKP Warpig I put in a 7 string about 6 months ago. Don't have any experience w/ their 8 string versions, but, going on the tones I'm getting out of the 7 now, I think I just might go w/ another one of those if I go w/ an Agile 8.

If you're going to be doing a lot of recording, and especially if you record something other than distorted guitar, I'd invest in an Apogee Duet. You can have the best possible guitar and pickup, but if you record through something crappy you'll be shooting yourself in the foot.

well im going to being doing a lot of clean and distorted... my style is some what like animals as leaders.... some what lol... the point is that if the tone would sound good for that then most likely it will sound good for me.... i will do a sound test for you guys when i get something to recorded with.. still deciding tho but when i do i think ill post me doing tosin abasi's point to point i cant express how much fun this song is.. i dont have it fully tabbed out but i am almost done with it.

oh and i changed my mind about the price... im removing my limit cause i need it to be good enough quality for a project ive been working on/still working on... and should i make a new thread for this cause this is recording for the agile 8... but im not sure if that fits here.. maybe i should just link it in here.

Hey guys

Im tuned down half a step to F - but the whole recording was done over a few weeks so it may be a bit flat or sharp in some parts. Also, i would have used ms paint if i was using a microsoft machine :p

Also big thanks to everyone thats listened to the clip - I'm number 1 in alternative metal and number 6 in metal charts on soundclick! :woohoo:

Dan - I'm thinking of picking up pretty much the exact model you've got there. What are the stock pickups like, though? What do you think on them?

Has anyone run the string sizes posted in the rondo site through a tension calculator? Just wondering how balanced their default strings panned out for tension.
