why are everyone tuning 8 strings in F Bb Eb and so on?

Prydogga · 04-25-2010, 04:03 AM

Because not many people have a standard tuning on top of their 8th?

alexguge · 04-25-2010, 04:36 AM

lol

i ment like, instead of F# B E A D G B E.

HANIAK · 04-25-2010, 05:39 AM

^ Meshuggah.

Exactly, they have different tunings above the 8th string, so they tune the 8th accordingly.

alexguge · 04-25-2010, 04:08 PM

yeah, I understand, but i think there are more bands that are playing in F Bb Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb, than F# B E A D G B E. Why? Or is it just me?

kasso99 · 04-25-2010, 06:22 PM

well, that's like asking why so many metal bands play in drop c (which i hate the sound of btw).

i composed a bunch of songs with my seven string in standard BEADGBE and when i tried them dropped a half step, it added a different edge to the sound that i loved. i then tried dropping it again to ADG... but found that it was just... meh. the Bb tuning stuck, and now that I have an 8 string, I just went to the F. I'll put some pics and a link to my first song recorded with my new rg2228 in a couple weeks. still trying to get the perfect recorded tone.

...and yes i'm a meshuggah fan.

Daken1134 · 04-29-2010, 05:58 PM

most people probably put it in F instead of F# because of meshuggah but they were a half step down from the beggining so standard would be F#, thats what im keeping mine in for now but odds are im going to drop the F# to E a la tosin abasi but instead of using it as drop E ill be using the low E as a bass.

Sup?

Just chiming in, as I picked up a 2228 from a fellow forum member last week. Fun stuff

Hey guys!

Got mine last October but only not too long ago joined these forums properly!

Just checking in

Love my 2228!

You can see it in action on my YouTube channel.

Triple7 · 08-30-2010, 11:12 AM

Can anyone tell me what is included in the prestige tool kit that comes with the 2228?

I am purchasing a used 2228 from a fellow forum member but it doesn't come with the tool kit. So i figured I would find out what that included and see if I can piece it together.

Customisbetter · 08-30-2010, 11:34 AM

yeah ive had one for a while. its pretty cool.

astm · 09-08-2010, 09:14 PM

If I had an RG2228, I would tune it a whole step lower.

You and me both, bro. I've got my Agile in that tuning, and it freaking rules.

astm · 09-16-2010, 11:28 AM

that should sound awesome, dude. Any clips of your 8 string guitar?

Customisbetter · 09-16-2010, 05:17 PM

shutters · 09-20-2010, 02:38 AM

I'm liking the tuning I'm in at the moment.

E A E A D F# B E

So, drop A with a low and high E thrown onto it, or drop A octave E, I think it's called?
Makes the transition with jumping from 6 to 8 string excellent for me.
