So since my 28.6" scale main Ibanez Mikro Bass is currently tuned to G standard tuning, as in 3 half steps above regular 4 string bass E standard tuning, I thought I would start a thread for bass players who have one or more of their basses tuned up higher than what is considered the norm (that...
its tuned now seven semitones down and when i tune it up the machine head (the gear at the tuner) it tunes up but only a few cents then it goes back to lower than drop A. what might be the issue and how do i fix it?
