I use daddario 105-50 (add a 135 for the fivers) to me that feels perfect, it’s what I’ve always used, gauge wise anyways even when I tuned standard EADG (130-45 on the fivers) if I do tune back up, it just sounds all wrong, like there is a part of it missing, cause there is really and it’s not long before I start getting lost and derailed , I even do the full step down on guitar acoustic and electric

I’m sticking to what I know, for now at least anyways

Not quite what i was saying but thanks anyways

Hi all. Question for you. For many years now I’ve been playing in DGCF (ADGCF) and use that for everything , it’s my standard tuning to keep up with Eb-D guitars, just add two frets up to everything in standard, as is only open strings that are effected etc. I don’t like Drop tunings (drop as in DADG etc) so this for me was the perfect solution the problem I’ve got now is a new music situation and I could possibly save myself a lot of work and tune back up. Sounds simple but my ear and the bass neck no longer match up In standard EADG. How many others do this ? (Tune low as standard that is)

I’ve ordered one from gak for the sake of a few quid as I’m not convinced regarding the conflicting diagrams I’ve found cheers

Hellos ! im looking for a diagram to make i voltage doubling lead. two 9v ports on power supply (voodoo 4x4) joined together to run a single 18v pedal so far I’ve found couple of “variations” can’t be both right ! thanks in advance

Cheers! The patch bay is home made, piece of plastic, chain links. Locking Neutric Jack plugs. the disconnected Jack by the thump is for the wireless

It’s thick 6mm plexi plastic that I’ve used to cable tie the pedals down with, chain links on the thump and screwed it into the plastic

Brought some EMG pickups off Eldon, great to deal with. Parts were delivered exactly how described (excellent new condition) quickly and at a great price, don’t hesitate to deal with. Cheers. Dan

Thats always been my theory DGCF = extra lower notes where you need them most, just move positions up the neck, it’s only open stings that are affected and I only ever bounce off them anyways. So going ADGCF is about the only logical thing to do for me as being new to playing a fiver I’m getting lost in every direction possible with BEADG lol 😂

I’ve got a 135 Elixir steel that I’ll try but will definitely look into the daddario suggest

In short who tunes there 5 string this way ? Im a four string player who has tuned DGCF for that long that that’s standard for me so the logical thing to do would be ADGCF just seeing ing how many of you do that as the A is pretty low !!! (By my ears anyways) cheers

Leave the cover in a window, direct sunlight for a good while that will darken it up, I’ve done that myself in the past

I’ve still got my first bass I got it 1994 ish. I converted it to fretless a few years back so it’s still in a way the bass I keep learning on

I’m feeling so much better about my own abilities now.... not ! Highly depressing great video, that’s some serious chops !

Current set up

Hi. I’ve got a MXR Phase90. Unsure of the exact model but it’s fairly new, less than 12months. I’m trying to get a level pot fitted so I can control the input as as from standard there is a considerable drop in volume across the whole sweep. (I have asked about this before but can’t find the post) does anyone know anything about this mod, what parts I need. Wiring diagrams etc I’ve got someone to do the work, my job to research so asking for help here. At a bit of a loss so far. Cheers

Tablet gone screwy. I’m trying to ask Lewis, how you getting on with the Octabvre? I’m looking for a new octave pedal and like the look of that

Yeah, 2007 model.. ( I brought it off this forum in 2011)I’ve also removed the lacquer off the back of the neck in favour of oil & wax

It’s evolving and I’m getting quite happy with it. I had to change the truss rod bolt, that was a task in its self finding the right one. I feel I should should panic buy a few bags of them after the haste of that !!!! But anyways, I collected a few other parts while it was out of action and have now put it all together.

thank you all. I’ll pass this along to it’s owner. Cheers
