4 string quick tuning

mrvanquesz · 06-03-2005, 06:22 AM

odds are that something like this has been posted, but here it is again
an easy way to tune the bass: +=sharp+flat

G|+A+BC+D+EF+G+A+BC+D
D|+EF+G+A+BC+D+EF+G+A
A|+BC+D+EF+G+A+BC+D+E
E|F+G+A+BC+D+EF+G+A+E

for GDAD tune E-7- to match A -0-

Killer Fridge · 06-03-2005, 08:13 AM

in other words, youve labeled the fretboard

a quicker way is to use a tuner

fatwreckpunk · 06-03-2005, 09:50 AM

some tuners are **** and they take ages to get properly in tune, this could be very helpfull to beginers who cant tune well (i tune like this wen iv got a trebaly or smooth tone but with a more growly midsfull tone i find harmonics easier)

Killer Fridge · 06-03-2005, 12:40 PM

if you havent got a tuner, buy a "big to little" jack converter (yes ok i dont know the size of the jack plugs, i just know one is big and one is little

) and go download something called chromatia tuner free (i dont know where it is exactly though, im sure google will help) and plug your bass into the computer and use it as a giant tuner

it helps because you can see what strings to tune to what strings
like, you want to tune to a certain note (say D) then look for the D on the next string and tune to that. you just have to find the right D on the fretboard

Az_Holl · 06-04-2005, 05:18 AM

even if it does help you to tune i still think this should be in lessons

willobassman · 06-04-2005, 05:23 AM

Atomicant is right, lessons is where tis belongs under a title of "fretboard labels"

me too. i only need another instrument properly tuned. even a ukulele will do.

Skit · 06-04-2005, 10:45 AM

All you've done is label the fretboard and its not even readable!

How do you know the other instrument is in tune without a tuner?

The Forgotten Bassist · 06-04-2005, 10:53 AM

I think you should have put this in lessons and not in here. Plus it isn't that simple to read unless you already know what you mean. You could have putt in "A,A#,B,C..." instead of what you put in, I think that would make more sense to anyone who isn't sure about what you said.

Tuners are soo much easier anyway.

good point, but I think I'll just ruin the fun by pointing out that pianios are tuned and I've never heard of a electric pianio tuner.
