Maybe 2 weeks ago I was really excited to announce an endorsement from Schecter guitars. This was the first thing I asked about "Can I get a 9 string?" I got it in the mail and have been playing it since. It goes down to a C#, making it a step and a half lower then a standard 4 string bass. The biggest criticism I hear about the instrument is that it's taking the whole chug chug 0000 thing to far. I didn't want to write something in the style just yet, I'm sure I'll have fun with that later though. I wanted to write a tune that's heavy and aggressive but also utilizes the instruments full range. So here's what I came up with. Lots of fast riffs and huge stretches. The name is in tribute to a local band from back in my high school days called Jerome.

If i were to get a 9 string, i would tune it toBF#BEADGBE so i can switch between slipknot and metallica riffs without picking up a different guitar.

Is there even a bass, or is that seriously just the guitar I'm hearing? I'm pretty much almost sold after saying this would sound awful. Cognitive dissonance. How does one make this sound good?

Honestly, I'm impressed that anyone can even make audible metal music actually using that C# string.
