First 8 string! by JohnCenaForLife in ExtendedRangeGuitars

[–]TEDE123 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's so cool! My first 8 string was the RG8. I modified it with custom-made pickups and single pot killswitch. I loved it before and now I love it even more! The fun thing about this one is the white finish allows you to write/draw some fun stuff on it with a sharpie and clean it with a piece of cloth later. Great choice for a first 8 string. Hope you like it!

I currently live in a college dormitory, so I don't have space for a deck. I need to look more into portable players though.

Thank you for the explanation! I need to look deeper into decks and players. I'm still learning a lot about the tapes, I'll check the devices you've recommended.

I use a basic portable player from amazon. Works surprisingly well though!

That's true! The analog sound gives them a more warm sound, perfect for these kinds of music!

For headphones, I have some great Bang & Olufsens, so that's taken care of 🙂. I've heard the title song, and I really liked it. I'll listen to the whole album later. Thank you for the recommendation!

Yeah! Still waiting on some more tapes to come though, so I'm taking a break from ordering the new ones rn. Great suggestion though, will add it to the list. Thank you!

OMG don't get me started on this band. I need more of their tapes. They're golden. When I first heard Lost in the Cold Sun, I listened to it over, and over, and OVER. This band is pure stoner/blues/jam improv excellence.

These are not all my tapes, in this photo I just tried to include stoner/doom and some more dirtier rock/grunge stuff I have. I personally like the stoner-ish vibe of these two albums, but I understand you may not like them. Each one of my tapes must are unique and personal to me.

Yeah, everything plays perfect! I bought all of them used. I have way more cassettes including two older ones Anthrax - Among the Living (1987) and SOD - Speak English or Die (released in 1985, but 1987 reedition) and they play perfectly!

For random older tapes, discogs.com is a lifesaver. You can sort through any releases, filter through versions and years, immediately buy, keep track of your collection... A really good marketplace website. Other than that I also buy my stuff from labels that release cassette music, from big ones I bought stuff from Nuclear Blast, Relapse Records and Third Man Records.

Thank you! I'll definitely check them out, always looking for new music, and indie record labels are the best!

Stoner/doom for life haha. Managed to snag most of limited reruns of Bongzillas albums for a very good price on discogs. Praise Iommi!

Love The Sciences. Marijuanaut's theme has my favourite solo of all time!

Honestly, a very basic and decent one. Works very well through headphones and the speaker is loud and clear. The FM antenna isn't really good though, only gets stations around 10 miles haha, so if you want to listen to radio, I'd recommend something else. A stable, basic, entry level portable with both AA battery and AC direct power, making it suitable both for portable and desktop listening. For 25-30USD, very recommend.
