Yeah man i definately wanna get a 7 string soon, there's a bunch of stuff im aching to play in that tuning. I guess i just wana put a heavy set on my old guitar to play some meshuggah haha. Although i might buy a triple xxx next week.. or i could save up some more monet and get an engl or soldano.. and then after that get a slsmg or a 7string!Kellan wrote:I'd just suggest a 7 string, you're way more than capable of making good/proper use of it.
But, if I were you, I'd just opt for a heavy bottom set and not really worry too much about the high strings. Personally I'd go with maybe 11's with a high 50 or maybe even a 60 for your would-be low E. Something like that I guess.
haha that thing would fucking kill, but I dont have 3 g's right nowBen wrote:However, if you could save up and get an Engl and a Vader 4X12 (my dream rig!) you'd have one HELL of a fucking rig
Check ebay too. I snagged mine used for 680 bucksDimejandro wrote:haha that thing would fucking kill, but I dont have 3 g's right nowBen wrote:However, if you could save up and get an Engl and a Vader 4X12 (my dream rig!) you'd have one HELL of a fucking rig. This guy i know is selling his barely used triple xxx and custom cab loaded with eminence speakers for 1.5k.. but i just want the head for maybe.. 700. I need to get a job if im ever to buy a nice head though.
I got mine B-stock from music 123 for 750, still a good price for it....they are going on e bay for that price all the timeBen wrote:Check ebay too.
