neuroblaste « Very very good way to chill out with an 8 strings »
Published on 03/08/11 at 14:07Guitar made in Indonesia We found a floyd type bridge, but frozen and without springs ... (To manage stress, and for "fine tuning" that is necessary on the 8th string) Channel ibanez slim, Type II wizzard - 8, pitch 27 " 24 frets - IBZ pickups active pseudo-lz 8 A volume and a switch of Equalization 7 / 10 for the round and the correct finish
UTILIZATION
The handle is clearly the biggest advantage of this 8 strings: plain, practical and comfortable despite the size. For smaller hands, it can be a bit hot at first boxes at the top of the eighth round to reach rope. It's crazy to feel at ease when there are so many strings. (That said, I'm used to 7 strings, I do that a plus
The super-strat shape will no longer arise. balanced and practical. (Pretty, in my opinion) In terms of access to acute ... as usual on this kind of guitar. 9 / 10: tamable perfectly for a monster 8-string
SOUNDS
Oriented "djent" metal, it does not offer ultra-wide sound palette. It's a shame, with eight strings can be quite make all styles of music. For distos: The switch from EQ is nice if you plug the guitar into a pod. Hard on an amp (one Laboga Mr hector the store) it became loud and shrill, disembodied. The pickups are very limited, the sound is rather fatty and mushy, not too attack ... as if we blocked the knob tone down. I could adjust the pod X3 to enjoy the guitar, but it sounds it always falls into the same type of sound (with lots of treble, if no attack audible). That said, they sound balanced in the low mids and lows and the 7th or 8th strings do not sound different from other 6 (which is the case on 7 strings cheap) clean sound: nice, especially in middle position. The neck pickup gives too low and not very defined if used alone. 4 / 10: I note harsh, but I think this guitar offer many more avenues to explore and have a range of clean sounds and distortion to find if the microphones were not foam.
OVERALL OPINION
After more than three weeks of heavy use and abuse I'm really happy. I could not feel other monsters of the genre ... having said that I had a lot of 7 string in the hands and the neck is amazing ease. The finish is simple but well done. It is well agreement with the floyd fixed. For a first instrument ... maybe not. To get into the frenzy of 7 / 8 strings is perfect. The value for money seems to me more than adequate given the overall finish and features outsized. Too bad the pickups are Ibanez made in such limited (well, disappointing but usable). I think given the quality of the guitar as a whole, it's worth it to mount EMG or Seymour Duncan (or Lundgren to extend the capabilities of the beast. According to those who have, it's worth it ... I would put a Up date when I would have glued two EMG 808. M'enfin, do not believe in Santa Claus ... if you want a real good guitar of this style it is better to take the RG2228 and leave his wallet starve.
