Thanks, hadn't seen that before.
Actually, thr first thought that came to my mind was OH'NO someone just discovered Stig Pedersen (D.A.D) for the fist time....yet once again.
Relieved to see that wasn't the case this time.
Regards

| | | | For the record, the dude from Morphine plays what he calls a "basitar", a guitar that has heay gauge strings in the D and A positions, usually tuned to drop D (or I guess more properly in this case they're a fifth apart).
Presidents of the United States of America uses a basitar and a "guitbass", which has three strings in the A D and G positions, again normally tuned to drop D (or a fifth and then a fourth), except that PUSA detune a further half step (C#).
I hope someone reads this and cares, cuz that felt like a pain to explain. I probably have it wrong anyway.
If I was ever given a cheap guitar with busted tuners, I'd probably make a guitbass out of it, they sound really cool with different slides, just like the basitar did in the second Morphine video. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
