Wow. I have been a fan of your playing for many years, and this sound has to be my favorite yet! Very nice.

I'm pretty sure Greg has 2 brains...

Greg!! I absoluuuutely love you r playing on this video. DBR seems like such a useful tuning, exploiting the rich bass end of the Stick. Do you need to have the pick ups configured to accommodate DBR? I sometimes want to go for bass heavy contrapuntal ideas and get myself in knots.

Damn, now I need another Stick... HA

Ecstatic Stickist Regards.

gotta say the double bass tuning gives some magic sound possiblilites. The movable half inlays is a very interesting idea as well specially for those who experiment in tunings a lot.

@geiroffenberg Thanks, Geir.  Glad you like the video. Happy Tapping

Beautiful! Reminds me on some slow solo pieces from Pat Metheny, moodwise, though he's not a Sticker :D

[TheFolksinger]

Lovely. Wish Dreamfulofzen could play the Duduk to it. David will be at my Cairo home on the 7th, so maybe wi we will get to do this for fun, and think of Greg being here in spirit. In Cairo, there's not much rain-dodging, but we can catch the spirit.

Excellent, Greg! You've inspired me to go back to the melodic woodshed with my DBR 10-string Grand during my summer off from our music ministry.

[Zander4724]

very cool!

That's a great tuning. Wonderful idea. I could really go for it. It would be great to play a Bassline and a bass solo at the same time. Good tune as well. Lovely.

Great sound Greg. Thinking of re-tuning my stick now to explore it.

[MST2k]

Excellent, Greg!  Love the dual bass reciprocal tuning - what bass player wouldn't?

[Grozeil]

I just wonder how this tuning would react to a pickup change? I guess it's the PASV4 right now, and it sounds just beautiful.

[Grozeil]

What a sound!

[tapStringYoucan]

The sound on right hand is very beautiful! It's like real 6-string bass solo.
