.......Robot Overlords.....

Decorative gourd season is officially over, motherfuqqers. 'tis the season to sing praises to our Robot Overlords. Did I say Overlords? I meant Protectors.

a boring thing to buy, but got roland ev-5 today.

Hate the auto tuning system Gibson uses. I've always found it to be quirky and off. Maybe it's improved over the years though. I always though it was really gimmicky.

I dodged iteration one. The G Force/current unbranded ones are dead fine providing you use strings within the specified range. And I do, so...

I wasn't sure I'd keep them on my first 2016 LP HP, but love that guitar enough that I got another '16 before they went away (and the HP Studios are done anyway, thanks to the massive trimming of the line).

And I am now perplexed. I wasn't expecting them for weeks, because..well, Tronical is a German company.

Their "free shipping" is overnight.

I just got notice from FedEx - here tomorrow.

I ran the quote for overnighting a package of that weight from Hamburg....and it was $12 less than the order.

Never underestimate the amazing deals companies who ship a lot of goods have.

Although that does still seem quite absurd.

I'm certainly not bashing it or anyone who would like to employ it's uses, but it's definitely not for me. I just got a guitar with sperzel locking tuners on it Nd I'm a big fan of that. It stays in tune pretty dang good considering it's 9 to 80.

9 to 80 on like an 8 string?

Yes. It's the only guitar I have currently with them, but they are really nice. I'm a big fan. I have a '97 PRS with the wing style lockers, but they aren't quite as good, they have a flat spot on the turning part of the post, and the winged collar has a notch cut out of it you slide the string in, and it turns and locks the string in the flat spot. They work OK.

Can't tell if I'm being mocked... but yes 9-80 is nice on the 8 string, the low E is nice and full and makes my practice amp flub out pretty good. I dont Djent or anything, I just like the extended range.

I don't think there was any mocking intended. Maybe unaware of 8 string in use?

For sure I don't care if I am mocked either 8-strings are kind of douchey I'll admit it. I see a bunch of failures trying to play Meshugga on them at guitar center every time I go ..

It is fun though

[codetocontra]

Extended range is cool if it is used right. Every time I try a 6 string baritone I sound like Korn because I am not doing it right.

Or are you doing it right???

[codetocontra]

I sound nothing like Isis (the band )

I think a lot of people have a tendency to default to 2 string chugging when they play an ERG. So essentially the 8-string becomes a 2 string.

Couldn't resist drastically reduced DOD Gunslinger and Bifet Boost closeout prices and caved. $77.94 later, and both will be headed my way Monday.

Every time I think about 8 strings and djent dudes I get this urge to put a metalz type pickup in the bridge position of one of my ibanez 6 string basses...
