those detuner things look the business!
No Forbidding Allowed
My band made (another) Xmas song: https://soundcloud.com/polarityman/p...in-vallhalla-2
I watched a Manring instructional DVD where he uses a hyperbass - and he claimed that the piccolo strings are functional at normal EADG - *bollocks* I thought.
So I tried it. They are massively floppy but it actually works! They are 20-32-42-52 and they still sound brilliant!
It's magick, an ancient and forgotten magick.
And the truss rod didn't need any adjustment whatsoever. Even with effectively zero tension.
I think I'm in love!
The Reverend Lord Henry was not one of those new-fangled parsons who carry the principles of their vocation uncomfortably into private life.
Have you seen the double shot levers for the Hipshot tuners? They would allow you to both raise and lower the string by a preset amount.
They could make the Hyperbass a lot more fun!

that would mess with my head even more than it already is!
I found the tab (and tuning guide) for a tune called "Monkey Businessman" - it's not his best tune but it does seem to be the most simple. So I'm going to give it a try.

Top gas by the way. Mental, but top.
How you getting on with it?
Loving it! Started to write a tune for it, with use of the hipshots. When it's done I'll record and post it.
