tuned GDAEBF#

What? How do you manage to make that work?! I only tune to B, use thick strings, and still feel it doesn't sound quite as tight as I'd like.

I guess it's up to personal taste. Shining use a standard .049 on their B string. I had to get a baritone to get comfortable tuning down.

I'm using Ernie Ball single strings:
G - 0.072
D - 0.054
A - 0.042
E - 0.030
B - 0.015
F# - 0.009

I had to bore out the tuner (and file the nut) in a couple of my guitars (The Schecter and Warmoth Tele while on the MIM Tele the low G string went right through the tuner).

I filed the nut and am using a 0.062 for the B in 25.5". It's ok, but I've been considering switching to a baritone, or maybe a long-scale 7-string, like the 26.5" ones Schecter makes. The guitarist in my other band does tune to G too, but his sound is a bit muddy anyway

Anyway, your tuning is quite extreme. You have my respect for going with something like that and sticking to it

Thank you, the next guitar I build will be equipped with a 28 5/8" baritone neck. I'll start the building much later in the year. You have a pm sir also.

I checked the pm. That all-fifths tuning does give a cool distinct sound and style. Wouldn't work for me personally, though, since I guess it requires huge stretches to play certain things.

Most of my stuff has been packed away in storage, or sold recently. What I have left is:

EVH Ernie Ball/Music Man guitar, translucent blue
Charvel 625 C-12 acoustic/electric 12-string, black.
Fernandes Nomad Deluxe guitar, American Flag design
Crate GFX-15 practice amp
Peavey 5150 head

Lexicon Alex effects processor
Dunlop Original Crybaby Wah
Nady Encore 200 wireless (which I never used)
Ernie Ball Hybrid Slinky strings

When I was first learning how to play guitar I bought one of every style pick the guitar store had. Since then, I'll pretty much use anything because I learned to use everything. lol

With cords, I usually just buy what is cheapest. I'm still using cords I bought back in 1989.

I've never been a slave to effects. Just a guitar and some distortion is all I need, but will use a little delay and reverb at times for the hell of it.

Basses/Guitars:

De Gier Custom-built 5-string
Rickenbacker 4001 (1976)
Fender Geddy Lee Jazz bass
Fender MIJ fretless Jazz (ca. 1985)
Yamaha BBN4 III (first bass)
Ibanez BTB 405 (trying to get rid of this one)
Yamaha RBX 375
DeArmond Ashbory
Motion B-05 (piece-o-crap acoustic bass)
Caliber 5-string Stingray copy (surprisingly good actually)

Squier Classic Vibe Telecaster
PRS Tremonti SE
Ibanez MMM1 (28" baritone)
Piece-o-crap spanish guitar

Evidently, I'm a bassplayer mainly.

Ovation CP247

Multi-FX pedals:
Zoom 505
Boss ME-50
Digitech RP1000

Amps:
Peavey Bandit 112 Solo Series (teal stripe)

Now, my various music projects write and rehearse through pro tools with headphones on. We can hear everything perfectly (in up to 6 mixes) and everything is recorded. It's pure bliss, compared to jacking up a PA really effing loud.

Hmm, let's see, I'll list what I have and use on a regular basis.

PRS 24 Custom
Tobias 5 string bass
Washburn Acoustic
Peavey XXX head

I am now a new happy owner of a TC Electronic G-System, it's a little PITA to setup but it's very nice.

Damn, everyone has such sweet gear

I currently use an ESP Viper Baritone tuned to drop A, as well as a squire strat i have in open C
A Line 6 HD 500
Behringer vacuum tube preamp
Motu traveller interface
as well as a pissload of software i have bought. most used is the Native Instruments Komplete 7 bundle which i couldn't live without.

simple setup, but it gets me through with my demos
