Hope this isn't everything.....not excited at all about these. The two 8's are cool, I like the inlays on the Hellraiser a lot better, but again nothing i'm really excited for.
Edit
Just realized they did that V offset correctly. Bottom wing looks a bit shorter though...if it was just slightly offset i'd be all over it, but never liked unpointy rhoads Vs.
They really really need to do a new seven with that body shape; ideally one with a seven-in-line headstock rather than that retarded 6+1 design they used before.
The Hellraiser special C-8 is nice, but once again they fail on the scale. How many times do we all need to collectively complain about floppy F's on anything less than 27 before they start paying attention?
That riot looks cool, shame about being a damien though. I'm interested in what the rest of the walnut ATX lineup looks like, I like the avenger a lot though. Also...that inlay on the V looks like shit, why put something that lame on it :lol:
They are but it's so badly advertised, even half of EMG themselves don't know lol. I contacted EMG regarding options on colours for their ERG actives and the guy I have known there all these years swore it wasn't available. But then he got back to me saying he made an enquiry and found out they were, scratching his head about why half the staff didn't know, and why it's never been on the website or catalogue.
But they do exist. You can get white 808's if you wanted to.
I really like the look of that bass....35" 5-string with an alder body, and I have a feeling I can get a really good price on it, so if I get to try one out at my store and it sounds good, may be going for one for myself when I have the money!
I think Schecter's 26.5" scale length would indeed suck for F# - E (low to high) but if I scored one I would retune it A - G (low to high). It seems about perfect for that.
