Exclamation What did your band say the first time you showed up with a 7 string?

I remember the first night I showed up to band rehearsal with my new 7 string, "I did not tell anybody about it prior to that night!" and about an hour and a half into the rehearsal, my drummer says "man your playing is awsome tonight" and my bass player (plays a 5 string and I usually down tune my 6 string) says "yeah, real phat tone tonight man" I said " yeah, this new 7 string is the shit!" and I can't believe both of thier mouths dropped about 2 inches and said "7 String!!??" Nobody even knew! LMAO!

Anyway, I've only been playing 7 string for a little while and it's really been seamless converting over, I really enjoy the fact that I no longer have to switch between 2 different 6 strings, with my 7 I am able to hit all of the lower registers without having to down tune or anything and really like playing 7 string.

I do not shred, I am not a lead player, I am one hell of a rhythm player, so the 7 fits my bill seamlessly.

My band said "Finally!" because we're all Korn fans and have all loved the sound of 7-string guitars from the start. We basically formed the band with the intention of me getting a 7-string and our bassist getting a 5-string "someday" Our singer doesn't really care and the drummer joined after so he has no say in the matter

The other guitarist has a 6-string, so I got my 6 just to make it easier...actually I just wanted one and for me playing my 207 is kind of tiring sometimes when standing up (it is 10 pounds afterall)

My drummer went with me to pick mine up. This was back in 1998. My whole band already knew I was getting one. Other bands that we played with had no idea it was a 7 until I told them though.
