Dude, it is so awesome how extremely clearly you explain everything. It is almost as if you are used to explaining things to stoners.
Glad itâs easy to follow!!
â05 Gibson SG â62 Reissue. C Standard, 11-52. Thanks for taking the time to put together a much needed video!!
I may have to try out that set Steve! I like this setup but I may need to go a little lower gauge to hit that bend in 10,000 years easily haha!
Cheers Steve, thanks for watching and all of the videos you make.
Jason
Steve, THANK YOU for everything you do for all of us out in the world. You are an inspiration my friend.
If you're playing in C standard 11's are the way to go. Sounds great.
I'm just a lady who has had and played a lot of stringed instruments over the years. I'm the daughter of the guitarist from Bliss (AZ 1965-69 Psychedelic Trio) so I've always found these types of tones sound very soothing; especially when I'm missing my daddy.
This year my Spotify most played by far was Alunah's entire album White Hoarhound. So time to learn the latest on producing these tones.
Dad said he would've needed 20k watts back in the day to make a sound like that. Please no. $$$$$!!!
Def leaning toward an SG for this (which I don't own anymore) so somebody's shhhhoppin. I'll be on this channel a lot while I obsess about the perfect gear before I buy. Got that from Dad, too.
I dont belive I have ever seen a video that breaks these steps down this well. Wish you tube was around when I started
Glad video was helpful and I totally agree hahahhah! I remember how hard it was learning how to install strings when it was all word of mouth or having a friend show you.
Thanks for watching,
Jason
Solid info, every guitarist should be able to do this every time you change your strings. Itâs also a good idea to check your neck relief again 24 hours after adjusting your truss rod. Necks will sometimes need a little time to adjust to itâs new truss rod setting.
Iâve seen another method for widening nut slots, where you take some fine sandpaper, wrap it around your new string gauge and gently use it to widen the nut slot. You have to keep checking to be sure that you donât go too deep or youâll have to replace the nut.
Thanks for watching Jim and great point about re checking after 24 hours. The sandpaper over string trick also pro! Pinned comment so folks would see your great info.
Cheers and for watching!
Jason
With the sandpaper around a string Nut trick itâs best to measure the thickness of the paper, times it by Pi, then use a string a little thinner than what youâre aiming for as if you want the nut to accept a 60 but file it with a 60 plus sandpaper (x Pi) the result will be over 60. Or, just measure the thickness of the makeshift file before using it.
Also keep in mind at all times that we need to go wider, not deeper. Otherwise great info! ;)
@@Wolf_K Easier method would be to wrap the paper around the replaced string. A .046 with paper around will make a wide enough slot for a 60 in most cases. No need to calculate
Jim Masino usually when I widen my nut slot I use lube
We usually just use a bit of guitar string... no paper or files, nothing fancy needed... just a careful hand/eye. Also, lube your nut! An spare graphite pencil will do the trick if your in a pinch.... pun intended ;)
Danelectro Stock '59 Reissue. Usually Drop C#. Jazz lights (12-52 Wound 3rd).
Also a Firefly DC Style. Usually BEADGB. Heavy strings from 7-String Heavy Top Skinny Bottom (13-62).
Love my guitars. I don't need anything fancy to do the job.
I play with tons of different tunings, so I included my defaults.
I absolutely love incorporating my 12 string as well, so I'll include it:
Gretsch White Falcon 12 String Jumbo Acoustic. Eb Standard or Drop C#. Lights (10-47).
Just ran across this channel out of the blue and looks forwards to binging the content while I work my dead-end job.
The ultimate proper way to do the intonation is to do it in the playing position (standing up/ down, neck more parallel to the ground or pointing to the sky) and fret the 12th fret the way you would when playing.
When you put a guitar on a table on it's back, with or without support on the neck, or resting a lot on it's neck, and when you're playing what angle your neck is will change the pitch of the strings, the neck moves, gravity and all.
This means doing the intonation in the non playing position will probably give a different result in the playing position. Same thing with the fretting, if you do it lightly when intonating vs fretting hard when playing, it will be off.
It's a slight difference overall (yet definitely noticeable) , and it's great to do the intonation whatever way, but we might as well do it the best way
Besides that great vid Jason, it's always a good thing to educate guitar players and spread the word setting up a guitar can be done at home fairly easily
Good point! So many fine details in proper guitar setup. Gonna check out the intonation on this guitar again now (:
Cheers,
Jason
hey man a question, each time you adjuste the sattle you are ment to re tune the string to pitch and then check again for the 12 fret? or just keep on going without touching the tunners?
@@eskoriakiebraqeyo7942 Yes re tune the string after each adjustment on the saddle
Damn! I totally forgot about gravity!
2004 Epiphone Les Paul Baritone with a 27.75" scale length in worn brown. B standard, A standard. 14-68 ga strings.
I was 15, had saved up all my money the summer before and wanted a guitar, I knew I wanted a LP. Saw epiphone had just come out with a Baritone. I didn't know anything about guitar besides smells like teen spirit on my dad's squire. Baritone is tuned lower? *Count me in*
I've played tons of guitars since I was 15 back then, hell even made a handful, and none of them were as heavy and crushing. It's by far the best purchase my teenage self made lol.
Everybody slept on them or something because they stopped production and no one knows about them.
That is so badass and a great story!!!!!!!!! I think so many people sleeping on baritones in general!
Thanks for watching,
Jason
Grundle Thatâs really cool, having something that unique!
Dude is the patron saint of sludge
Finally, a video that explains "chasing the needle"! Such an important step that I rarely see in guitar setup videos. Best setup video on YT, by far.
Thank you! I borrowed it from the riffs, beards, and riffs guy (:
Cheers!
Jason
Love the Sleep riffs
2005 Gibson Les Paul Classic, DâAddario 12-60 set, C# Standard/ Drop B. Love it!
Same set on this guitar (:
Cheers Jeremy,
Jason
Fuzzlord Effects Arenât they great?
Early 2000âs Squier Tele with 11-56âs. Single coils are underrated for this genre
Totally agree! They work so nicely with pedals yeah?
Jason
Telecasters are outrageously good for high distortion it's wild.
for sure i have an sg jr with a p90 and its great
@@lukehewko260 - i use my MIM Tele with *BK Black Guard Flat 50s all the time for Doom-like riffs.
*...true single coil pick ups.
Fantastic info! Your pace and ability to deliver the information in a straightforward yet in depth way is extremely helpful
1983 SG standard tuned to D#. Mainly stoner rock with ambients.
Love SG guitars!
Thanks for watching,
Jason
1971 Kay K20-T, C#, Ernie Ball Skinny Top Heavy Bottom 10-52
2010 Austin LP, Eb, Ernie Ball STHB
Thanks for the great content! Very concise and to the fucking point, kudos!
Thanks to this video I just did my first full setup and intonation on my Schecter 7 string. It sounds and plays do much better. I appreciate what you do man!
I am sooooo happy this was helpful and that your guitar is setup and intonated now!
PRS SE Custom 24, B Standard, 14-68. The Dâaddario Medium Baritones. I love em. String tension is nice and toight.
Good info here. I would add just a few things.
1. Those measurements are suggestions. You have to vary per guitar and player. If you have a light touch, you can often get away with a flatter neck and lower action. If you have a heavy touch, you'll probably want more relief and higher action.
2. Measure the action with the capo on the first fret (or just fret at the first fret while measuring).
3. Check the pickup height after setting the action, but before setting the intonation. Pickups have magnets that affect string vibration (and therefore intonation). If they're too close, you'll get a weird chorus-like effect. Too far, and your guitar will sound weak. Fret at the last fret, and measure from the top of the pole to the bottom of the string. For humbuckers, I shoot for 2/32 of an inch on the bass and treble side.
ItÂŽs been Jazzmaster tuned to C standard with 12-60 strings for many, many years
Amazing guitars!

My main guitar for doom is an Epiphone Explorer Artisan in B Standard with Elixir baritone strings (.012-.068). I just got a Gibson SGJ that I will be setting up the same way.
Great video! 14-72 strings by Stringjoy, Gibson LP Studio, A standard.
Charvel Pro-Mod DK24 & Gibson Explorer for drop A with 12-72, Ibanez RGIB6(28" scale, 13-79) & BC Rich Bich(30" scale, 13-76) for drop F#, great vid, clear and concise , thank you!
Damn those are some baritones!!!! Always work so well for these tunings.
Glad you liked the video and thanks for watching,
Jason
The world of Doom guitar style is just fun in general,I've been playing for 20 years.But, when I got into Doom it opened up different guitars like the peavey T models,love em.Different fuzz pedals etc.I can only speak for myself but sometimes I feel like I get stuck in a guitar rutt of playing the same scales etc. So it's awesome when I find something inspiring.Thanks for helping with that Jason.đ€
2008 American Fender Precision Bass tuned to C Standard with D"Addario 50 - 120 Balanced tension string. I'm mainly a bass player but I also have a 1998 Mexican Fender Strat tuned to C Standard with Rotosound 10 - 46.
sounds like a good setup!
Great setup advice. So clear and simple.
Gibson SG Standard 2013 off white.
50% of the time Open G tuning concept (6th string tuned to C or D depending on how heavy I feel ). Normally 11s.
My main guitar right now for doom/stoner/sludge is an LTD NW-44 tuned to Drop-C, with Elixir 11-49. I actually haven't worried a ton about setting it up, the intonation is spot on and it plays awesome! I'll be using this regardless for my Epi which has been sitting in C Standard but with 11s as well.
Always nice when the intonation is just right!
Thanks for watching,
Jason
I'll be the oddball...2017 gretsch electromatic 5622, 12-56 strings B standard....I like to do shit different and the center blocked gretsch electromatics are have sooooo much warmth. It's a killer guitar to play sum doom on, little different
I really like this set up actually. ^^^
@@remx15 apretiate it!!đ€đ
Thatâs the next on my list. Currently, working with the G5220. Punchy pickups, interesting wiring and chambered body.
My setup's equally unusual - D standard on a Loar 280 archtop with twin humbuckers. I like the wide neck, I just have to watch out for unplanned feedback!
This is the most informative video on CZcams. Thanks, man!
1978 Les paul custom 11-50 D standard, Dean 79 V i B standard and two modified Jaguars 11-50 D standard.
78 LP sounds like a badass guitar!
Thanks for watching,
Jason
1996 Gibson Flying V, Ernie Ball's Light Top Heavy Bottom 10-52 tuned to E standard (and dropped with a Whammy DT when feeling doomy)
.10 string set, regular tune E, fingerpick & flamenco on a short scale fender, baroque music renaissance too, intonation info in this video exactly waht my teacher told me back then, helpful
fuzzy blues riffs too, and I need the high notes to really get the neighbors freak out, strings close to the fretboard, but still a Le Paul fretboard would be too narrow for classical guitar
Glad you liked the video Jan! Thank you for watching
Another awesome Doom metal channel on youtube, fuck yeah!
Thanks! Be sure you check out DoesitDoom also!
Anything that gets you closer to Mike's tone is a must have in my opinion
Have worked on two of his guitars :)
I used to do this with my ibanez as 103 semi hollow. Only i tuned in C# with 10s for classic Sabbath
2002 Gibson F9 mandolin, 20-53 gauges tuned in flat thirds, strings tuned F# C C# B#
1936 homemade banjo, flat wound 32-60, Strings tuned A Db E Bb Gbb
Doom Grass lives!!!
I play an SG with a Telecaster neck, which I assembled myself. Was a bit tricky, but in the end it stays in tune and the intonation is good, too. It has two Humbuckers with a little above 9k. I usually play it in C#-standard and I use Ernie Ball Skinny Top Heavy Bottoms (.10-.52) so the strings are a tad less loose than with a set of regular 10s. I used the ends of the thicker strings (low E, A, D) to carefully take off a tiny bit of the nut so they fit perfectly. A file or sandpaper can also do the trick, but if you are not 100% sure what you are doing, better take it to the luthier.
Peavey T-60. 11-52. C# standard. I play some good old fashioned Sludge. I find the most important thing is that you have some sweet stage moves and you smoke a lot of dope.
100% yes!
Double-necked electric mountain dulcimer with humbuckers in open C, 12-gauge strings :D
Made the entire thing myself including the pickups and my fuzz/distortion pedal which is tape-head fuzz using germanium transistors and then hard-clipping with red LEDs on a push-pot.
I have two doom/metal guitars
Both in c#. Drop b as desired.
2015 Chapman ML-1 standard with so invader, and so bridge hotrail in neck.
2012 epiphone ej-200 acoustic. This guitar kicks ass in lower tunings.
Invader such a great pickup for the genre (:
Cheers,
Jason
Right now my favourite doom guitar is my LTD Viper 50 Silverburst SG model. Always been a C standard guy, but occasionally Iâll go down to B standard or up to C# standard. Personally for me I like Ernie Ball light top heavy bottom strings because it retains heaviness of the bottom strings for heavy riffage, while also being able to solo on the higher strings n not have them be hard to bend, just cause Iâm a fan of bending strings. Cheers guys!
I use an epiphone Sg pro 400 with a Seymour Duncan screamin demon in the bridge. I have it in drop b right now. The strings are Ernie Ball heavy bottoms đđ»
No bad information here. I have a few things to add - when checking the action, fret the string at the first fret to take the nut out of the picture. You don't want any variance in the slots in the nut to affect the measurement.
After making any adjustment (truss rod, action, intonation, etc...) tune the guitar to pitch before checking the measurement and adjusting again.
Check the pickup height after you've checked the action and *before* you adjust the intonation. The magnetic pull from the pickup can affect sustain and intonation. Fret the last fret, and measure from the bottom of the string to the highest pole piece. I go for 2/32 inch on bass and treble sides for humbuckers, 3/32 inch on the bass and 2/32 inch on the treble for single coils, and 1/32 all around for active pickups.
Check intonation in playing position. Things like gravity and pressure on the neck from a neck rest can noticeably affect intonation.
I tend to go for .009 inch relief, and 2/32 inch action on the bass side and 3/64 inch action on the treble side. I then adjust as the guitar or player needs.
I tend to play SGs - I have a 1983 "The SG" and 1991 SG-1. In E Standard I use 10-46, in D standard I use 11-48.
Les Paul Jr tuned in A# with 14-72 strings. (Baritone strings)
1966 Mustang in A# with 14-72 as well.
I keep my others in C with 12-56.
I always use a wound third.
All at 432Hz because itâs nicer to my ears.
New fav channel. *Certificate Of Authenticity*
Thank you so much!!!!
Jason
@@FuzzlordEffects CZcams finally understands me! Haha. I'm definitely gonna be hitting up the fuzzlord shop soon! Thanks for the great content! Keep bringing Doom to all!!!
For the heavy, fuzzy stuff, it's a mid-90s Epi LP Standard, 11-56 D'Addario XLs, B Standard.
Awesome Doom guitar video rock on...
Cheers!
An Epiphone 1958 V in Ebony with a set of 12's in C standard. Dooms for days
1958 V that is so cool!!!!!
Jason
Thankyou for the clear and simple instructions.
Picked up a Dunable Yeti, From MusicStoreLive, they set it up with Dean Markley 13-56.
Thanks for the great channel!
How do you like the Yeti? I have been wanting to play one of those so bad!!
Thanks for watching,
Jason
Fuzzlord Effects Itâs super nice. Iâm getting back into playing from about a 15yr hiatus, used to play clean tones with a Gibson 135, Now that I found Doom, and your channel, Iâm re-inspired to play again. Im on the preorder for the FU-2 and I think that will be sick with the Yetiđ€Thanks again!
'13 Gibson SGJ w/ Railhammer pups. Eb standard, 10-46 // '97 ESP Ltd EXP-200 (Japanese), C-standard, 11-52. Great information, thanks.
Thanks for watching!
'07 LTD EC-1000. Various tunings from B standard to E standard. Ernie Ball 10-52 Skinny Top Heavy Bottom
Thanks and very informative. I've got a Schekter C-6Plus and after watching this I think I will just take it down and get it done professionally before I try it myself. I want to try a doom sound but I gotta do it right Thanks Fuzzlord!
Glad this video was helpful in showing you what the process was to help you make that decision!

I just started down tuning. Using Standard D tuning (occasionally Drop C) on an Ibanez RG 6003FM using 10-46 strings.
Nice!
I play an Ibanez RG7421, 7 string, 25.5" scale. Drop F# at the moment using ernie ball Burly Slinkys (11-52) for the top 6 strings then a .72 for the low F#.
2001 LTD viper with Tony Iommi Gibson custom pickups in C# standard with 12-60s
LTD makes such nice guitars!
Thanks for watching Ryan,

Gibson SG Special, C# Standard tuning, 8-38 gauge strings. Frets resurfaced and recrowned. ZeroGlide zero fret installed.
I bet it played so nice after having the frets leveled and crowned!
Cheers and thanks for watching,

I have a Squier Jazzmaster and either a Greco APW500 Dan Armstrong copy or a Fender Toronado strung with 13-59 off a 7-string set. I tend to tune those guitars to either C standard or drop B for sludgier/doomier songs. I also have a Fender Jaguar and Jazzmaster strung with 11-49s for either Standard or a bunch of weird alternate tunings. We mostly play punk/noise rock.
Badass guitars!
Jason
I have 5 guitars all tuned for different tones ,schecter C-1 elite (Ernie ball 10-46) E flat,
Reverend sensei railhammer chisel pickups ( Ernie ball 11-48) D standard,
Electra les Paul custom gibson 500T/498R pickups (Ernie ball 10-52) C standard,
Schecter daimen emg 81 pickups (Ernie ball 10-52) B standard,
Westone dimension IV (Ernie ball 11-56) E,E,D,g,b,b. Werid tuning but with the drone strings it's really interesting with heavy fuzz or cleanish
My main guitar squeeze right now is my Epiphone SG Standard in Alpine White. The tuning is C# Standard. The string gauge? .9-.46. Yeah, I'm serious. Iommi for life đ€
But usually when I'm playing in C# standard, I'll use .11-.48. C Standard gets .11-.52. Anything lower gets .12-56.
9's in C# standard? You've got to have a light touch! Thanks for sharing!
Also playing a Fender Mexican Telecaster with 42-09 gauge GHS strings tuned standard E to E, it has a set of Tonerider Hot classics pickups in it, the Fender Strat has a set of Fender Noiseless N4 pickups in it, and also playing a Gibson USA Les Paul Studio with 46-10 gauge GHS strings tuned standard E to E.
Fender Squier - Ernie Ball Not-Very-Slinky strings - I was doing Drop D but I may try C Standard next. Iâve learned how to set it up myself which is fun. Iâm a n00b
Thank you for this Video! I play a fender telecaster 50's classic mexico with emg tele pickups! In c standard and you helped me alot to optimize my setup!
17â Les Paul Faded, C standard and 11-52. Thanks for a great video!
Jackson soloist slxt 11-56. C tuning. Iâve just started learning to play in different tunings and it fucken rules!

You absolute Hellman!
Thanks for watching Scott!
Very interesting and very good diction that helps understanding for strangers. Thank you.
No problem! Thanks for watching
I mainly use 7 string Ibanez RG 7321 with A drop tuning and 11-60 strings. I changed the original humbuckers for Active SD Blackouts and now rips concrete out of the ground....
This video was awesome! You got a new sub. It's nice seeing these types of music and guitars taken seriously. Fuzzlordddd!
Thank you! Happy to help pass along the things I have learned (: This week is a pickup swap video.
I play a custom of my own design built by Halo Guitars, it's 26 and 1/4inch scale using 56-13 gauge strings in drop A.
The Shape i thought 7 string for a sec. .13 for a high e.... o u c h

Badass rig Matt!

Excellent video, really helpful, thanks
glad it was helpful!
Ernie Super Slinky (09's). Drop D. Thinner strings are easier to play expressively on, bend and gives a tighter low end.
Nice!
Gibson LP R9 1959 Custom shop tuned to C std with 10-52 paradigm strings
Sounds like a badass guitar Harald!

I am mostly a thrash/death guy, so currently I play Washburn X50PROQ (ESP styled headstock) SD Custom 5/ SD '59 with 10-46's in D,Eb,E standard. Tone pot gutted out for coil split/ killswitch selector.
Probably gonna buy a cheapo LP or something with 24.75 scale soon, tune it to C and slab in the Dimarzio X2N I have lying around for ages...
Starting to get in that drony fuzz riffing, stuff is really meditative :) Cheers from Russia BTW!
Great Video!

1984 Gibson Challenger, Drop C#, 10-52 set (with 52 swapped for 54) , Rio Grande CrunchBox bridge pickup..or 2006 Gibson Explorer all stock (496/500 pickup set) .
Those sound so badass!
@@FuzzlordEffects I dig it. Both of course were bought used. The Challenger was $299 so I didn't think I could go wrong!
Jericho Fusion 6 27" scale length. Tuned to C standard with 12-60 strings.
That sounds amazing! I really like a good baritone guitar.
Thanks for watching,
Jason
Been reading these comments looking for another smart man with a baritone. You sir have good taste
In my experience intonating a guitar that is laying on its back will cause the guitar to play flat since the weight of the neck will pull slightly when tuning. You probably have more experience than I do, thatâs just something Iâve noticed. I intonate my sg and thinner neck guitars while itâs sitting in my lap.
Good point! I will have to check intonation with tuner while in playing position and make sure. Thanks for the tip!
Jason
Great video, helped a ton. Just a quick thing, you forgot to mention another adjustment everyone has to do after all this: setting up the correct pickup height!
Coming up soon (:
Gibson:les Paul, flying V, 10s ernie balls regular slinky or top heavy bottoms also 10s, E standard, B standard ,drop D mostly
Epiphone sg with B standard, 12 56 gauge ernie ball
Badass!

Thanks ! Good to see yours vids.
Gibson Sonex 180 . C# standard or drop B . I went heavier strings recently with a pack of 12 - 56, but didnt like 24 gauge 3rd string or the 56 gauge 6th string so swapped for a 17 and 52. I really like this string setup (12, 16, 17, 32, 44, 52) but itâs impractical because I canât buy 1 set with those gauges and Iâm not gonna buy 2 packs each time I wanna change strings. Thanks for the video, I need to do a good set up on my guitar and this is straightforward and perfect for what I need to do.
really handy video, thanks a lot ! I'll change my tuning soon, it will be really useful.
Rocking my custom built explorer from warmoth with a set of EMGs. Tuned usually to B or C# with a set of 52 to 10 heavy bottom.

So glad it made sense Chris thanks for watching!
Chapman ML3 Pro
For strings...I use 13, 17, 30, 42, 52, 62 Ernie Ball Cobalt tuned to C#/C Standard (I can play D Standard on them but they do feel a little tight). My local shop didn't have any Mammoth Slinky sets, so I improvised one from a 7 string set and just didn't use the smallest string of the set...I'm fixing to use this "hack" again for my E Standard guitar to make Drop D playing feel a little more balanced (the A and D strings feel too stiff for stacked and barre Drop chords).
Using 7 string sets give all sorts of customization options.
I play an '06 Gibson Les Paul Studio Deluxe. Drop A. 12-65. Run through a JCM 900. Hoping to get my hands on a drone master soon ;). Great video, as always!
Well explained as usual fellas.
Super Strat & Tele in E standard w/8 or 9.
Esp Slayer Seasons LTD w/ EMG 81 85 in C# Standard. Usually 10's.
But I'm thinking of throwing some Iommi pickups into my Silverburst Les Paul & going down to C standard into a Dark Terror w/a real Heavy gauge.

On the 7 String the Strings feel way tighter, eventhough the Scale-Length isn't much longer.
Great Video by the way!
Rad guitars! Charvel Tele especially cool.
Thanks for watching,

Awesome and simple, the way it should be explained. '15 Gibson Les Paul, C Standard tuning, Ernie Ball Burly Slinky 11-52
Great vid! Been really into Doom lately, although Iâm just a metal fan in general, I typically listen to BlackMetal as much as I listen to Doom. Having said that, one of my fave BM bands is BlutAusNord and he(Vindsval) seems to use C#Standard tuning as well. Oddly enough, the first time I used heavier gauge strings, 12-60 I think, I had to file the nut. Worked out brilliantly.
Happy to see some black metal love here

I run a 1979 Peavey T-60, with D'addario EXL148 .12- .60 extra heavy strings in Drop B.
I have a Harley Benton Tele with humbuckers that is set up in C Standard with D'addario 12-54. Thinking about switching to 11-56 Cleartone's since I prefer using coated strings. It's awesome for the doom/death metal genres!
Squier tele custom, HH, 10s in B standard. I know, but I kinda enjoy the floppiness.
Gibson explorer 10-52 in drop c fishman pickups and anything from Mastodon riffs and just recently some stoner stuff đ€
Sounds like a badass guitar and setup! Favorite Mastodon song??
Cheers,

Brilliant idea for a video topic !!! As obvious as this is, ive never seen it covered in this context. Probably one of those things that is so far forward in our minds that it just seems like common knowledge. Like tying our shoes. But, many people may not realize these things need done when they throw heavier strings on and drop the tuning.
Way too go man !!!! As always, great job.
Love that sg ! There happens to be a 70's sg in white, on craigslist, near me, southbend Indiana. And just as we would hope.....the white is all discolored from age and is just gorgeous. If I didn't think the wife would throw me out for adding it to my pile of guitars, Id be on my way to pick it up.
Thank you Brian, glad the video was fun to watch and covered the topic (: I had to check some numbers making the video because sometimes I forget the actual string height measurements etc!
Sounds like you may be hiding an SG (;
Cheers and thanks for watching,
Jason
@@FuzzlordEffects nahh, Im not hiding a SG. Lately Ive been craving one again though. I just recently found out an old friend of mine just lost his SG ( that he had for 20 years) to a pawn shop. I was rather disappointed he didnt let me know he was going too loose it. Anyhow... him losing his, made me want to own one. Funny how that works.
I mentioned the SG listed in southbend Indiana, just in case someone reads my comment and happens too be looking for one.
Have a good one and take ot easy !

Dingwall NG-2 5 string bass. Tuned to A standard and with a .150 on the A string
