So after I got my new 8 string guitar. The first thing I found out is that every setting I used for my 6, really doesn't work.
So, I've been working a lot on trying to dial in sounds, and tone.
The first one, I was just trying to get a real thick heavy sound.
The second I was playing with both clean, and distorted together.
Not sure why there is a goofy delay on the second ones drum intro, I'll fix that later.
They both are rough cuts, both a work in progress kind of thing.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.So is it two extra lower strings, or one lower and one higher string? I recently got a 5 string bass, and rather than just keeping it in E Standard with a low B, I've tuned it to C Standard with a high G# and sometimes drop the bottom string to a Bb for extra sludge.

I do the same with my 5 string bass as well.
Yes, it is 2 strings lower. Standard tuning is F#,B,E,A,D,G,B,E.
But I down tune the F#, and B, to an E, and A, so it's an octave below the other two E,A. But I've been trying out a few other alt tunings as well.
@TristanNuvo Nice! So are you playing sludge/stoner/doomy type stuff? I'm trying to put something like that together, but currently just recording solo demos on my ipad.
@BassManSpaceMan For some songs yes. But to be honest, I do a lot of different kinds of music, from Spanish guitar, Classical, blues, jazz, rock, metal, etc. Some times just noodling around I'll hit a riff that just hits the creative spot in my brain, and then it goes into something from there, which sounds cool. But what I would really like to do is complete an albums worth in 1 style.
