i guess if you d-tune , the bass would need a slight neck adjustment ?

[quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1341693586' post='1722976'] My uncle used to use a hipshot on his B string on a Fender P Deluxe and loved it! I think it was through a Markbass CMD 102P. As far as in aware he played rock, pop, and jazz. [/quote] That's cool , I will detune the bass a bit and have a play around before i spend money on a D-tuner.

[quote name='Ou7shined' timestamp='1341693037' post='1722967'] My main band is in drop C and I have a d-tuner on the bass I use for that... only I always have the extender open and dropped and occasionally nip it up for D standard... but like hardly ever. [/quote] out of interest , what bass do you use ?

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1341692114' post='1722942'] Well they would have take those big gladiator boots with all the buckles up the sides off, and remove all the stuff from various holes in their faces! [/quote]

Are D-tuners common in metall rock ?

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1341690742' post='1722910'] I'm pretty sure we have some metal heads around here with Hipshots that drop to A? [/quote] do they have issues when trying to go through metal detectors at airports ???

I understand that some gospel bass players tune the whole bass down a step or two ........ It got me thinking if a D-tuner would work

I am so tempted.......................................

Has anyone ever had a D-tuner fitted on a 5 string bass on the B string ??? Is it possible ?? Pros & cons ?

I built it as I wanted the JAE Marque thing..and got it. Sold to a guy who is in a Who tribute band in the UK. Ash body, two piece maple neck, specially wound PU from Seymour Duncan. [/quote] That is a properly tasty looking bass
