Is Les tuning his new 32" scale E1 A1 D2 G2? I'm also curious as to the string type/gauges that Mr. Claypool uses on the new bass...if anyone has that information.

Actually was a modded ADA MP-1. He still had it in his rig until he started playing the Ampeg stuff sometime in the "Antipop" tour days when he switched to the 3Pros but still using Boogie cabs.
