the fretted 8 is tuned f#-b-E-A-D-G-b-e, where the caps are the standard 4 string bass strings (in other words, two lower, two higher strings)

^ That's pretty intersting/badass tuning. How'd you come up with idea for that in the first place?

well, when i first started on 7's back in '93, i didn't know of anyone else playing them. i went directly to 7 from 4, and while the low b was not an adjustment really, the two higher strings sorta were. i didn't want to just treat them like an extension of the lower strings, since they really don't sound the same, so i figured i'd tune them with the guitar tuning. 50 trillion guitarists couldn't -all- be wrong heh. since then i've experimented with multiple tunings on my 7's, but b-e-a-d-g-b-e, along with f#-b-e-a-d-g-c, are my main 7 tunings, and the 8's are just really a combo of those.

i ordered a custom set for my seven the other day, got a regular pack of 10-46 and a mamoth 64 for the low b. and i guess it ended up beeing to baddass for my dean avalanche ultra 7 to handle. one of the spring claw screws striped from the body. now im left with only my 6er

I've seen it and played it. I think he had it to F#.
