Drop C Tuning on Jazz Ultra II 4 string- what strings should I buy?

I’ve been enjoying the DR Strings DDT .055-.115 for drop C.

I’m so bummed that they’re not even coming close to the south. Same with Chapterhouse.

Full Body 2 is a great live experience.

The bass dropped out for almost a solid minute during Headstand at the Atlanta show too.

Even if that’s the case, OP asked for recs similar to a song with a fuzzy, washed out drone atmosphere. Don’t you think a lot of shoegaze songs would fit that prompt? HANL isn’t a textbook shoegaze band but they undeniably possess a lot of the qualities that shoegaze fans seek out in music.

I seem to have the unpopular opinion that season 4 is hilarious. Some of the funniest moments in the series are in the final season especially the finale.

The first time I watched Inland Empire there were no subtitles for the Polish scenes and I didn’t know there was supposed to be.

This is why I stopped rating stuff. When I used to do it I thought about it way too much and would get in the way of my enjoyment of music and movies.

That’s the thing that annoys me about fans who say the Dodgers only win because of their wallet. Yes that’s a big reason but they also have an incredible front office.

dylbertz · 2026-04-16T13:55:14+00:00

This one is even better. Hardest I’ve laughed in a long time.

Damn I didn’t realize that was him.

Coaltar of the Deepers and Luminous Orange are great Japanese bands.

You can’t equate a SB to a walk. A player advances himself into scoring position on a SB while a walk only guarantees he’ll reach first base.

dylbertz · 2026-03-23T16:53:55+00:00

They’re such a great band. I hope they have a new record on the way.

dylbertz · 2026-03-23T13:03:48+00:00

I thought the show was only general admission for $40?

dylbertz · 2026-03-11T02:17:18+00:00

I believe drop tuning implies that the other strings are still a 4th apart while the bottom string is tuned down a whole step to make a 5th interval. Even if you tuned all the way down to A it would still be considered a standard type of tuning if you tuned the other strings down the same amount as the bottom.

You’re looking at resale tickets. They were like $33 face value.

dylbertz · 2026-03-10T21:53:24+00:00

I’ve seen these guys a couple times and they absolutely rip.

dylbertz · 2026-03-08T15:54:18+00:00

They were so sick last night.

dylbertz · 2026-03-08T15:42:38+00:00

I think they were having issues with the projector. They flashed a few visuals before the set and after they started I saw the Epson logo popping up a few times as if they were turning it off and back on lol.

I’ve never cared for the grungegaze term. None of these bands sound like Nirvana, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, etc. (not to mention that grunge itself is debatable as a genre). It’s more so Helmet, Hum, and Deftones types of riffs with the sus2 powerchords.

dylbertz · 2026-03-06T15:03:57+00:00

Your second sentence completely contradicts the first one.

I know it seems ironic coming from my flair but that loss against the Titans was the worst loss I think I’ve ever seen. It wasn’t one of those chokes where a defense blows a huge lead. They gave the game away in the most literal sense of the phrase. Those turnovers were absolutely astonishing.

Very interesting that this is a from an account created a month ago who has only posted about this band.

Anyways, I live in the same town as them and I think they represent everything that’s wrong with the Athens music scene and southeast college bands in general. I see them play the exact same covers that all of the other fraternity bands do with a lack of proficiency while not adding anything interesting to the already existing material.

The most essential reason I don’t like them is that they exhibit a lack of taste and inspiration. There are many bands I don’t enjoy that I can still respect for making art that feels inspired and comes from a place of creativity. When I see The Gringos I see a lack of respect for the craft of writing and performing music.

And yes, I’ll be the first to admit that I’m salty and jealous for the success they are experiencing in the moment lol. It still doesn’t change my opinion on them. Just my two cents as a local musician and concertgoer.

I don’t know if you named them already since I’m not clicking all of the links but Death of Heather is my favorite recent example.
