Guitar rigs-what do you use?

I was on-line yesterday looking into 8 strings, ahh the possibilites! I've gooten quite good at the 7 string, I can do all these slap funk bass lines that put all those root-huggers to shame....watch out Charlie Hunter, here I come.

I like my Ibanez K7. Sounds good playing anything. I didn't get it because it was a Korn Signiture model I got it because I just wanted an Ibanez tone and it was the only decent looking 7-string they had.

I've found an ad on the net for the RG7 for around 400 bucks... I'm gonna try and get it...

I'm new here...
