I picked up mine just under 2 weeks ago, absolutely storming guitar in every aspect. Sounds and plays amazingly, right off the shelf. I love playing it infront of the uninformed, so I can watch them gasp and ask "It's got how many strings?!"

Good times

I want to check out Bare Knuckle pickups in my ibby. I'm pretty excited for the nordstrand ones in my sherman as well.

I got RG2228 10 days ago. I love the thing. Everything seems to be in order, frets, intonations, maybe I have to manoeuver the truss rod a bit to avoid the 8th bass string frying when I strike really heavy, but maybe I shouldn't. I do need a piece of adivice, though: what strings (gauge, make, type, etc.) can be recommended for the 8th string?

What do you think of tuning the 8th string as G rather than F#, to have an open bass G?

i use a 70 on the rg2228 and a 74 on my sherman, the sherman has a longer scale though. on the rg a 70 feels really good.

Thanks. Clearly the 70 (or 74) is a D from set of electric bass strings, isn't it?

Hexer · 04-28-2008, 06:25 PM

some string-manufacturers do produce guitarstrings in that range, even up to 80. Daddario and GHS come to mind
