Playing in BEADG sometimes makes a Drop D disjointed when playing i.e. By the Way by Chilis]]> Bass Players Discussion Metallifan https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/d-tuner-billy-sheehan-yamaha-attitude-basses/#post-64881 https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/d-tuner-billy-sheehan-yamaha-attitude-basses/#post-64880 Tue, 10 Aug 2004 21:33:58 +0000
So on a 5 string you'd have it BDADG; yah I can see where that would be interesting. Me, I just leave everything standard, though at one point I low-tuned a Rickenbacker to BEAD. That's before I got my fiver though, and now I'm totally stuck on my Turser Beatle.]]> Bass Players Discussion DemoEtc https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/d-tuner-billy-sheehan-yamaha-attitude-basses/#post-64880 https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/d-tuner-billy-sheehan-yamaha-attitude-basses/#post-64879 Tue, 10 Aug 2004 21:27:50 +0000
But theres a difference between D tuning the E string on a five string and playing a Drop D song on a standard tuned five string: B E A D G.

A Hipshot D-tuner would still be useful on it.]]> Bass Players Discussion Metallifan https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/d-tuner-billy-sheehan-yamaha-attitude-basses/#post-64879 https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/d-tuner-billy-sheehan-yamaha-attitude-basses/#post-64870 Tue, 10 Aug 2004 20:57:33 +0000
As far as ruining the low string: it shouldn't, not any more than loosening the string with the regular tuner. You've got a Fender five string though right; you shouldn't need a Dtuna with that unless you have another bass?

Anyhow, take care.]]> Bass Players Discussion DemoEtc https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/d-tuner-billy-sheehan-yamaha-attitude-basses/#post-64870 https://guitarnoise.forum/bass-players-discussion/d-tuner-billy-sheehan-yamaha-attitude-basses/#post-64810 Tue, 10 Aug 2004 01:16:48 +0000
