@schwarg You are indeed right there! But only thing different is compared with the 6 string bass : The 8 string guitar has 1 string which is lower then a 7 string guitar. The 6 string bass get's a higher string then a 5 stringer. So for Meshuggah's stye it's ''normal'' to have a 8 string guitar, since they DO use all strings. John Myung however doesn't use the C string that much. That's why in my opion, a 5 string bass would be enough for this style. But it's all a matter of taste, isnt it ;-) ?

@Basstard22 Meshuggah really did the 8 string guitar justice imo, they brought a great deal of originality to the table with the expanded range of their instrument that couldn't have been done by just down-tuning a standard 7 string guitar.

@Basstard22 Thanks!

@seth3556r Wow, that's some nice variety my friend! I like it when musicians get inspired by several music styles! You have my respect! :-)

[seth3556r]

@Basstard22 eh, depends. when it comes to music I'm kind of a phase shifter, so when I'm playing prog rock or metal he definitely is one of the biggest influences. most of the time I'm inspired by early bebop, bossa nova, and gypsy jazz. also bill dickens and victor wooten

[Basstard22]

@seth3556r Haha, cool! Talking about him : Is John Myung your biggest influence?

[seth3556r]

@Basstard22 It's no big deal my friend lol

[Basstard22]

@seth3556r Oops.. I went a bit off topic, weren't I? XD Excuse me for that!

[seth3556r]

@Basstard22 I wasn't disagreeing with you over the concept of bass strings....

[Basstard22]

@seth3556r John Myung is a very good bassist! And I have too agree : For the things he does, 5 strings are enough.. But it's all about the feeling of the neck, right?

Maybe his hands feel like ''overshooting the neck'' on a 5 string?

And if it comes too the 7 string guitar : That's the maximum it should have. Don't see why people want a F# string as the bottom string.. Not really my style.. Heck, for bass even worse! You wouldn't hear the bass, just feel it through the amp! XD
