pwhodges:
Welcome back!
Does that mean that you are playing less, or that you're simply concentrating on the bass?
godinpants:
Thanks!
It means I'm focusing on the bass, and spent the money on modular synth gear.
Lummer:
I've finally gotten hold of the elusive Peavey Rockmaster preamp!
I love this thing. The Ultra channel just sounds like the entire planet coming apart at the seams from Satan pounding it with a continent-sized hammer. Very good, I must say.

It's still FUGLY though. I hope Jeph doesn't see this btw.

Tuning, yes, but primarily intonation is the thing it's aimed at improving. Thicker strings are all well and good, but with extremely low tunings such as with 8-strings, the intonation can become less than ideal on 25,5" inch scales or below.
Along with that, high strings become needlessly uncomfortable to play to some people, for instance a .10 high E on a 30" will be a bitch and a half to play to most normal people.
Thus, multiscale instruments.

Ah yeah, intonation. Google translate wouldn't give me the right word.
