What tuning do you all use?

RG7321:standard, drop A, A standard
RG? F,Bb,Eb,Ab,Db,Gb,Bb or another 1/2 down ( .68) because i'm not sure of all meshuggahs 8 string tunings (help)
S : Drop B

Regor · 03-28-2007, 01:05 AM

RG2127X - Standard
RR1, RG7420, MF-207, RR7(eventually) - 1/2 step down
RG7621 - 1 step down (sometimes dropping the D to a C or the A to a G)
Epi ZW - Anything I want, usually drop C, C/C# standard, drop Bb. I use it for playing along with CDs of bands that downtune, and use 6ers.

I can pretty much cover any base I need. But for the most part with my band, it's 1/2 step down.

Since I've been playing on a 7 string I've been stuck on B standard. I'm using a K7 which of course has a tremolo and I am stuck on B standard I absolutely love it. I think I'll order me a tremol-no pretty soon then I'll start doing some lower tunings and it will be much easier to set up....not that it's all that hard as is but I'm just too damn lazy.

Ibanez #1: Ab Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb
Ibanez #2: C F Bb Eb G C F
Squier Strat VII: B E A D G B E
The 6's don't have any set tunings for now, but I'm getting a new one with a 30" scale that I'll be tuning to Eb Ab Eb Ab Db Gb, or maybe F Bb Eb Ab Db Gb.

How's the experiment with DRM5, aka HTHIAGTPANIMT?

Baritone 7: EADGCEA or F#BEADF#B (12-60+0.074)
Washburn WG587: BEADGBE or ADGCFAD (10-56)
Steinberger GM1TA: C#F#BEG#C# or drop B (10-52)
Wechter Pathmaker acoustic: DGCFAD, DADGAD, or something Sevendustish(uh, I forgot what strings I put on there...)

I can't stick to a particular base tuning.

Last night I was jamming out on my baritone, and I just laugh out loud when I hit the low E. It's hilarious how fat it is. Any excuse to slam on it is fine by me. I'll try to post something at some point soon. The thing just souncs awesome with the EMG 81-7s in it and the bass cab is just damn fat!
