The ESP Guitar Company

I have recently purchased an 8 string ESP, The problem I am not having is what is the standard Tuning for the 8 string e.g. I tried standard mandolin the strings in unison, But it sounds crap.I have Tune like a twelve string guitar..

I would like to get some advice?

Hello. Just boight an B-208 B Series in See Through Black Flamed Maple.

I like the color so much. Tested ot for the first time and it’s awesome to play.

Will be using it on our upcoming gigs. 

In addition to the listed nut width of 45mm, would someone be kind enough to post the neck width at the 5th and 12th frets as well as the string to string measurement at the bridge? Pictures with calipers would be a plus :-)

I've wanted an 8-string bass for 40+ years (yes I'm old ), so I finally bought myself a B-208SM, and now that I have it all I can say is I wish I hadn't taken so long to get one.  This axe is awesome. I played it at church, and got numerous compliments on my tone.  They even want to highlight it on some songs.

First song I learned was a song about a boy named Jeremy, .

Lovin' it.

I have one of these basses, a couple of years ago and I don't know where I can buy the strings to renew, I consulted the store where I bought it and they practically do not know them.
Do you have an online store to buy new strings?
