Default Your fave tuning?
I currently have my 7 stringer in the shop getting fitted up with an EMG 81 and set-up for the lowest string tuned to E

The second string will be in B.

Low

I like the dynamics that can be created from such a range.

What is your favourite tuning?

i currently use my guitar tuned

Db-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-Eb

Just seems a lot more powerful than standard tuning. I think lower than this and I lose a lot of my sound and it becomes hard to control the bottom end.

Just my thoughts.

I like tuning a half step down, as I feel it darkens tone, and you can sound that little bit heavier without getty muddy.

Blowjobs?....and miss out on a bacon & egg buttie - get it right up ye!!!

Anyway, I'd have to change the acronym that's served me well for years and as is clearly stated, I fear change.
