I was just watching the Jeff Beck Live at Ronnie Scott's video
and happened to notice that Tal uses a Drop D Tuner.
I never noticed that before.

Interesting to see that! I've used one for years, and really like it. I drop down for a song, and back up for the next one without any delay. Don't need it if you play a 5 though...

Why wouldn't everyone have one?

I don't know. It's a very useful trick. I love mine.

My Jag has one. It's really nice for me, cause I'm lost whenever I pick up a fiver.

I play a 30 song set and I do two in drop D, so for that occasion it is nice. The rest of the time I can be happy in my standard 4 comfort zone.

She totally stole that idea from me- same goes for the rest of you guys.

I'm sure Mr. S. has fielded questions about that 'part' of her bass for curious fans, before...

Actually, she's NOT using it. It's not engaged.
