I've always been intrigued by the dot pickups. I know a number of years back, he was selling those alone.

How can he possibly play it that low?

Some yoga experience helps, eg for getting your legs spread far enough apart. My son plays his Les Paul that low, for solos he hikes it up with his knee, Slash style. He calls my preferred height (which is not really high, but on or below the belly button) "granddaddy style".

Looking at the picture, it looks like he's actually going to be hitting the strings about the 13th/14th fret. Notice that he also took the G tuner off the neck. Maybe that prevents neck dive....

Wow! I thought that was one definately at the top of the heap. I had no idea that there were 42 ahead of this

. I guess this explains my lack of success in the whole rock star thing

At one point in time all basses were made with 3 strings. Double basses were tuned A D G, because the technology to make a gut string in the necessarry gauge for an E string hadn't been developed.

if you play a lot of walking bass lines the g has to pretty much be there, imo.
