That's insane. I thought my 59 gauge at 27" for B was pretty tight... and crazy...

I have a 95 for F/E.

I don't see the point personally, you lose note definition the thicker the string gets.
You get to the point where you could just plug a bass guitar into the amp and play that instead

Funny, it sounds more defined and badass than it did before

A lot of my favorite 7 string players use ginormous B strings. Jeff Loomis, Broderick, etc. Dick Dale's high E string is a 15. they all have great tone. Same for SRV.

I guess its 'Different strokes for different folks.' I dont see the point, personally, to why people in the ERG forum need 9 or more strings on a non-touchstyle instrument or tune below A. A lot of people here are into that. But then again, thats why i dont post in that subforum much

drmosh · 06-19-2008, 07:17 AM

I guess I just prefer a chunkier style of playing, and imo you get a lot more chunk out of a thinner string on the low B ( or F or E or whatever) that with a thick one.

i know it's a little divergent from the topic, but the lowest string on a few of my 7's and both of my 8's (bass) is low f#, two octaves below the low f# on a standard guitar's low e string, and it's a .165", and one of my 7's i have tuned c#-f#-b-e-a-d-g (3 strings tuned lower than standard bass). the low c# is .193". when i get home today i'll post some pics if some folks are interested.
