You had me at "oikish malevolence"

 

I've made a career from it.

Playing a B string may give you the same notes as down-tuning, granted, but in no way whatsoever does it give you the groove, swagger or oikish malevolence that down-tuning until your strings rattle does; you're right, they just don't get it at all. 

 

Tonight I suggested we repeat the delicate ballad with harmonies that shares our band name as a more energetic encore.

 

I demonstrated what it  could be like by activating my octaver, brassmaster and mojo mojo simultaneously. 

 

Boy I got some swagger, enough to make your average death metal fan cry.

 

I convinced the band it was a good idea.

I've got a D-Tuner on the B string of my Sei 6-string (so maybe it should be an A-Tuner). Can I join your groove, swagger, and oikish malevolence club?
