Also, ESPlayer, if i were tuning down, i'd use a bigger string. i had a .075 on my old fretless tuned to G. I only play in B standard, really.
I'll see how it plays once it's got the 74 on there (in F standard) and if it isn't sufficient then I'll whack an 80 on there. Thanks Ken!

Maybe it's time to put a bass tuner on there so I can be cool like you guys.
Oh, did i sy it was on a 25.5" scale? I'm actually a fan of pansy girlie strings, I liek mah djentsorz

mmmmmh... djent pie

Fuck that shit


Now thats a B String.


9-65. Legend. I strung the strings with the ball ends at the headstock as always, just like Jeff loves them.



Voila'.

Still was able to manage a perfect bridge angel even with just 3 springs in standard tuning with a brutal bass string on there. \m/

wait, I was just trying to decide what gauge to get for ultimate djentness. Should I go floppy (.056) or tight (.065) to achieve this? btw my guitar is a 25.5 scale.
