    i meant it like instead of using thicker strings just bring everything up a string. b would be where the low F# would be, ect... but nevermind There is a bassist Ryan Martinie of Mudvayne whose sound is just awesome and massive at F#B-F#B-E. Just dont know how he gets it. Thanks for the help...

    Basically what im trying to do is tune from F#B-F#B-E to B-F#-B-E-G# so the string arent so loose. I heard some people say to raise the action and get thicker strings so the F#B-F#B-E tuning isn't so loose. I thought maybe this could be done by tweaking the tuning a little.

So instead haveing the B starting on the E string its on the low b string, thus giving better tone. But then when i plug...

    the one fingered revelation

    How do you record a drop D or C bass line?

    I play in drop B all the time so i know its pain in the ass sometimes. I noticed that when you press down harder with your fretting hand it helps to eliminate some of the fret buzz. Also you can try putting a hair tie around the neck, up by the headstock. It could have just been my bass but...

    SWR Working Pro 700 vs Ampeg SVT 4PRO

    I have been looking to get a new head and I'm down to two. Either a SWR Working Pro 700 or a Ampeg SVT 4PRO. Price isn't much different because if I go with The Ampeg I'm getting it B-stock. Then there is only a $100 difference between the two. Im looking for people who have played these heads...
