    man that G-sgring looks like its almost off the fretboard. Does the string ever accidentally slip off the fretboard while playing?

    New practice bass/amp day - not a lot of money, awesome gear

    After spending most of my $$$ on loved ones for the holiday I decided to take some time today and check out the local Sam Ash and Guitar Center. I've recently going through a crappy streak with used gear - dropped $300 on a CL Squier Deluxe Active V..turns out the truss rod nut is stripped...

    5 string bass tuning with drop D guitars

    ^^ BAM!! This is correct - I just bought a 5-string because I didn't want to have to drop the E to a D all the time. Low and behold, go and try to play some Volbeat and have to pedal the D octave. Which on BEADG tuning is the 3rd fret on the 5th and the 5th fret on the 3rd string - a large...
