tuning

I have a Dolphin Pro 2 which I have had from new, I have never had a problem with it until now. I find as I am playing the G and D string go out of tune. I've tried different makes of string, different guages and tightened the machine heads until they will hardly move. Can any one enlighten me...

g'day again, this question comes hot on the heels of my post about a broken machine head... I currently have my Thumb strung up B E A D with a set of Red Labels (my string of choice for tuning experiments!). I'll be auditioning for a well-established local metal band who tune to drop C, and...

Hi all, I am new to playing the bass and have recently bought a Rockbass Fortres along with a ton of bass books. However I am having trouble as my tuner is not that great and only tunes the standard notes. I would like to have a tuner that makes it really easy to select what tuning I...

Hey guys, Normally, I just get my Thumb NT 5s, or any warwick bass, tune it down half a step on all strings and I'm ready to go. I love the action with that configuration. Anyway I'm jamming with a band at the moment and they play tuned down to C. This means my low B is now a low G, anyway I...

No, it isn't some lingerie euphemism. Could be a good one, though ("You're G-string is sharp ...") I'm set to receive a Warwick CS bass and for some reason, the G-string tuning machine is backwards. I need a black Warwick G-string tuner (configured for the D- or G-string), circa 2001, to...

or should i say, the shaft snapped :roll: i took the $$ out of the case today, checked the tuning and the shaft on the D string popped off :shock: ..can you imagine my facial expression? a couple pics:

I'm planning to buy a vette $$ and was wondering if tuning a 4 string $$ in BEAD would affect negatively the construction or performance of the bass either in short or long term thanks for the help :oops:

Can i use 125 gauge strings which are normally for 5 string basses on my 4 string corvette for drop c tuning?

I'm not at home right now so I can't measure it all up... But what size tuning machines fit Warwicks? 3/8" or 1/2"?

I've notice that the nut that hold the tuning pegs in place are loose. Should they be hand tight or do I really need to crank down on them?

Hi folks, This is my first post on this forum. I've been playing bass on and off for the past 12 years. As a music teacher in training my main instrument was bass trombone so I put the bass guitar down while in college. After teaching instrumental music for a couple years, I'm picking...

Hello people im just wondering if anyone has had experience tuning to straight C tuning and could recommend the best gauge strings? not bothered about brand. Im just filling in for a band thursday who use this tuning. Im using a Streamer LX 5-string which is 34" scale i think. Im guessing...
