[QUOTE=Spaceman Spiff;17564648]Why would you tune like that?[/QUOTE]

It throws out all regular ideas of music theory and enables you to make something unpredictable. Also you get nice droning harmonics.

Went to see Bloc Party last night. Really enjoyed it, they put on a really good show. I have a newfound appreciation for them :)

I saw them here last year (someone managed to rope them into playing at our city's annual jazz and blues festival), and really enjoyed their show.

What's up the Casual Bassists forumers...

I woke up 3 hours late, my day is ruined.


Better go get that haircut then.

It doesn't remove any music theory it just removes the shapes you are used to from standard tuning.

Is it F#s at the low strings or high strings?

I'd be interested to know the octave layout of those F#s because it sounds like a hard one to get the strings to accept.

Sounds like a stupid one to get the strings to accept to me.

New bass has arrived.

Picsorlies!

Pics to follow later tonight, stay tuned.

Oh I will be tuned. But right now, I'm going for a run.

That was a good run. I needed that.

Low strings are all tuned to F#, and the same pitch as well, I think - guitarist's job, really. He's a huge sonic youth fan. We've also been working in C#, G#, C#, F#, C#, C# on a more doomy track.

And you're right, it doesn't remove theory, but it makes it really hard to use standard theory and make a predictable track... you'd probably call that bad practice though and you're probably right.:thumb:

Where are my pictures!!

Soon enough.

I'm tired and have long days ahead! Mush!

Stand by for tinypic links.

It was't that much. The roast was less than a kilo, so it was only about $10. It's enough for one good meal, and maybe a tasty sandwich later.

It was immensely delicious, though. It was so juicy. Cooking with beef broth ftw.

I'm sad about missing your Thanksgiving, though, but I was just not going to be able to make it up. :upset:

I'm still standing.

how's it going guys?

Those are sh[size=2]itty[/size]-a[size=2]ss[/size] pictures, but the bass looks sweet, man. Nice rig, too.

Looks sick dude! Where did you get it from, and how much?

How you taking getting used to it? :p

nice set up, esp. like the flame maple

Cheers man.

It's a lot easier to play than I thought the jump from a 4 to 6 would be. Definitely a novelty to have two octave scales playable without a shift.

RRP 1895 I got it for 1500 at my local store, West Ryde Music Workshop.

how are the barts?
