Twincam Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 If I get the machine heads lined up perfectly on the first go I instantly assume it's a sign of good luck and I do a little dance (true story). Sometimes I will also chant "4 in a row, 4 in a row" or a suitable chant for more tuning heads or 2x2 heads etc etc, For maximum effect. But other than that it's just a waste of effort specifically trying to get it perfect as over time the tunings will drift and the the string mechanical tension will change etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bass players are superior beings who always know exactly where everything is, including their towels.

SpondonBassed Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 All I can say is that you'd need to be a pretty good player to be preoccupied with this and not with trying to underpin the song all the way through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
