I have made it a personal goal to play in as many different and unorthodox tunings with my Six String Bass as possible. Here is a list of tunings I have played, along with their flexability rating from 1-10, ten being best. This is also based on my unique style of play, which is a fast and harmonic-based funk with grunge techniques.

Kids..

Savage Republic often made use of a 12-string electric all tuned to one note, but I don't know what that note was.

Exactly.I'm absorbing so many of them that Sonic Youth seem almost dim in comparison.There are tons of bizzare tunings all over the place.

Lou Reed had the ostrich guitar, all tuned to D. Savage Republic fucking rock, I'm so glad I got their cd for free from Del Rey! (I've got two free cds from him!)

(Local band) Varge! plays with a few different tunings...
Arcade Fire use a couple, not too often, though.
Blonde Redhead
Godspeed You! Black Emperor (sometimes)
The Flying Luttenbachers (I think... maybe not, though)

Is anyone else surprised that Slint didn't use alternate tunings?

mushmanski57@hotmail.com · 12.23.2006, 08:57 PM

Since we have some people in this thread who dig Jandek, would it be possible for anyone to Sendspace/Yousendit an album or two by him for me or any other curious listeners please? I've been reading up on him, and he sounds really interesting, but his music is not easy to come by, in stores or digitally.

Thanks in advance!

do you know of any specific tunings they used?

atsonicpark · 10.14.2009, 12:06 AM

No idea, you can tell that something's definitely fucked up on the tuning tip though when you listen to their music (also they have 3 guitar players).

drop-d wasn't that popular when they used it though. Now it's everywhere.

Sonic Youth Gossip · 10.14.2009, 01:26 AM

i'm surprised no-one thought of using drop-d earlier. it makes power chords as simple as possible.

atsonicpark · 10.14.2009, 01:30 AM

Nothing like a good old-fashioned one-finger riff.
