bassistmike Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I have seen in this months Bass Magazine a photo of the tuning gear of the Manson John paul Jones Bass, there is a small lever as part of the Tuning Gear. I assume it alters the tension and allows it to return to correct Tension, I have seen players using something like this on Videos but not been able to hear what it does. I am sure you guys know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorick Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Might be the Hipshot D-tuner? Drops the E string down to a D or lower and return to pitch without retuning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have them on 2 of my basses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
