Blackmachine 8

metalfiend666 · 10-07-2005, 06:38 AM

Had a look at Blackmachine's website http://www.blackmachine.co.uk and they've done a lot of backdated news updates and added an 8 string to their range. They're also working on fitting Floyd Rose bridges.

Chris · 10-07-2005, 10:30 AM

Now THAT is how you finish a black guitar.

KillMAH · 10-07-2005, 10:41 AM

Nice. I just can't stand that Parker-style headstock. It just feels like holding a toothpick. Otherwise, those are some nice guitars.

Metal Ken · 10-07-2005, 12:20 PM

that 8 looks fucking righteous

Shawn · 10-07-2005, 12:20 PM

That is nice. The headstock is not too bad. It's kind of cool. Sharp looking guitar.

Jeff · 10-07-2005, 01:51 PM

That guitar makes me feel funny. Like the way you used to feel when you climbed the rope in gym class.

I like it.

eleven59 · 10-07-2005, 01:55 PM

Damn, give it a 4x4 headstock (or 4x3 on a 7-string) and I'd be all over it.

Chris · 10-07-2005, 02:16 PM

The seven is sex as well.

Needs actives though.

Yeah, but that pickup config chaps my ass. I see they let you change that though.

XIEmperorIX · 10-07-2005, 02:58 PM

I think the headstock makes the guitar that much more metal!

So many 8's so little money

metalfiend666 · 10-07-2005, 05:28 PM

I've liked Blackmachines for quite a while, and I'm now quiet seriously considering selling off 3 or 4 of my current guitars and buying one of their 7's.

I'm definitely selling my RG7620 and RG550 anyway. The RG7620 is going to the other guitarist in my band if he ever coughs up the dough (he's been promising me he'll have it off me for most of this year!). The RG550 might have a buyer too, but it's only a might. My Schecter A-7 will be going too. Nice guitar that cuts through the mix, but it weighs twice as much as my RG's.

That lot should net me about £1000, and from the prices I've seen I'm gonna need about £2000 for a Blackmachine. May have to part with my RG7621 and my blue Roswell Rhodes too. But then I said I was gonna sell the blue one 18 months ago, but ended up buying the black one as well.

D-EJ915 · 10-07-2005, 05:45 PM

I like how thin those are, the headstock is so-so but I just love how thin they are haha.

metalfiend666 · 10-07-2005, 05:56 PM

Yeah, they're stupidly thin. The only thing that worries me about getting one is the neck profiles look uber-thin too. But I'd obviously go and try a few out before I ordered one, and I only live about 25 miles from where they're made.

One of the guys in Sikth plays them, and he's ALL over the fretboard. I'm not a Sikth fan, but I've seen them as support to bands I want to see a few times and I've always been impress by the standards of their musicianship. They're technical to the extreme. They never stay in one area, always runing allover the board. I wonder if they fancy trying 7 strings?

Shannon · 10-07-2005, 05:58 PM

Dude, if only I had the $$$. I found those guitars about a year ago & have been in love ever since.

metalfiend666 · 10-07-2005, 06:11 PM

Me too. As I'm having a final spend on a new fx and a rack before I start seriously saving for a house deposite, I'm thinking now might be my only chance in the next 10 or 15 years to have one. Hence the thoughts of having a clear out of some guitars to finance getting one.

They've been reviewed in a couple of the big magazines over here, and all the reviews say they're the most amazing sounding guitars the reviewers have ever played.

LordOVchaoS · 10-07-2005, 10:52 PM

That's the first 8 I've ever seen that doesn't look like a guitar with down's syndrome.

Karl Hungus · 10-10-2005, 04:26 AM

I love those Blackmachine guitars, and I'd seriously consider buying one. Seriously. Oh, and I just love that headstock!

LordOVchaoS · 10-10-2005, 06:37 AM

I love em too. They have to go on the backburner until after I get my UV though!

Jerich · 10-10-2005, 06:37 AM

Blackmachines rule:

I love the headstocks they are 1,000,000 better ((looking)) then most other brands. They are original atleast. I also Love them because they come Stock with Lundgren M-Model pickups in thier VII's. They are Just as Good as Actives and have no Battery.

I am a Fan Of Sikth they freak-n-kick. Seriously technical wizardry.

parker anyone?

metalfiend666 · 10-10-2005, 08:27 AM

The headstocks are Parker-ish, but Parker's are very hard edged and precise. Blackmachine headstocks have more of an organic curve to them.

I think they look more like a weapon!

Drew · 10-10-2005, 09:51 AM

That's the first 8 I've seen that looks better than it's 7-string counterpart. I'm curious, but even for their (comparatively) reasonable price, I'd be hesitant to drop that kind of cash on a 30" scale instrument without at least trying one first.

Unknown Doodl3.2 · 10-12-2005, 08:48 PM
