DINO using 8 strings?

[Carcass29]

I guess 7 wasn't enough....loaded with EMG 707 DC's, different from the stock 707's.

sigh......I personally think that is overkill and just stupid....what is the purpose of a bass player....

What's next? 9 string guitars?

The dude from Meshugah uses an 8 string too

I'd be curious to play one..

Hey Frank!!!

Go see for yourself!!! http://www.conklinguitars.com/index.html

There is absolutely NO limits!!!! And I bet someone will be using the 9 and 10 strings guitars in metal very soon...

By the way, Pat Metheny plays a 'Picasso' guitar for real!!! Much crazyer than the 8 strings Ibaness... ...

A mate of mine has a 7 string conklin and there quite a nice instrument. The guitarist from Aghora plays one too.

Isn't there a higher tuned string on it? So it's basically a 7 string with a high A or something? But I never heard Dino play a blistering solo, so why the hell does he need 8 strings?

Who knows I dought it......like you said he does not play solos.....7 strings just remind of Korn and Limp Bizkit.....what ever happen to just beating the shit out of your old trusty 6 string....

the extra string on an 8 string is a low g

speaking of Dino and G-strings... How about that pornmovie he starred in huh? Scary if you ask med...

I saw Maeshuggah playing these guitars live and they sound cool as hell, but nothing you'd play speed metal on

Now that is one versatile guitar... no?

Actually that is a stick not a guitar, seen both tony levin and John Myung using it.

Not an F?

[cobhc]

i felt sure it was g, o well lol, maybe meshuggah tune theirs to g, so it's drop g in effect, not sure

 

[Hopkins-WitchfinderGeneral]

i think they actually swapped between the two, at least on "I".
