Baritone gas is high. Have thought of a 7 string but dont think I could handle one, my 5 string bass is hard enough... lol

Gassing for an EVH 5153. They're midi controllable so would be a mint setup with the AX8. Contemplating a bit of a pedal sell off :think:
Loving it so far

I have seven string GAS after trying to learn some Fear Factory. Which is dumb, cos I'd only really use it for playing one riff over and over again. :crazy:

I thought the same and nearly listed mine for sale, but it's broadened my musical horizons a bit. I've always liked Trivium but I've been able to get into them a lot more now I can play more of their songs.

The great thing is though that you can play it like a normal 6 string too ;)

Bandmate just got a black one of those. Sounds fantastic!
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

That'd be the one on TM recently? Was looking at that but didn't have the cash at the time. Surf green's more my speed anyway. Have to be an eBay job though.

most sevens are normal scale,baritones have more reach in the lower frets.Something you really wanna try before you buy,I love tuning low but getting the right balance of scale and string guage/tension has been an eternal struggle.

Yeah, that's the one. Got a matching 6 as well. Plays them through a Katana and for all my dissing of cheap and digital gear, his tones want for nothing at all.
