xD, nice. why not just make .100 louder?

Really, the point of tuning the same way is for ease of playing. Why waste all the extra energy if you know you can prevent it you know? To me, your spending far too much energy trying to figure out how to play with others using a different tuning and its just not worth it. Also, if youve ever...

Hey, i play with G C G C F and yeh, you definitely need some thicker strings and a good set up will make all the difference. I chose the low G just cause at the time we were playing some The Faceless tunes and thats how Brandon Giffin tunes his basses so i just went with that option, I think Dan...

Indeed, I'm playing with GCGCF right now with a set of .135 high beams, i think i could do much better though. Theres been talk of new tunings though so who knows. Looking at the Circle K string site and it looks ok, not familiar with how the gauges are gonna act or if i wanna spend 48 to 60...

105 or 110 will be fine, 115 is pushing it and anything above that is gonna have too much tension imo. I dont think stainless really wear down frets as much as they are reputed to do ... but i'm a nickel guy myself so i dunno.

Guessing the open C is the pedal note. No way would you just keep a standard tuned five stringer for that.

Hey guys, ive been drawn to the idea of recording my practices for a while now so it seems not is a good enough time to inquire about it. The things i have access to at the moment are: GK backline 600 amp, its got a XLR output A Sansamp BDDI, its the first version ... to my understanding. It...

Keep your (right .. assuming your right handed) hand straight in line with your forearm ... at least as much as you can while feeling natural and relaxed. Also try to get the same thing going for your left hand, keeping your wrist straight is very difficult in the lower positions while using 1...

Wow ... thats my school, wasnt really expecting that. And that IS very good marketing, could definitely see me buying a new strap. I agree with the "price of progression" thing though, it shouldn't happen anyway unless youve got a horrible technique like Flea for example.
