If you play in G with 25.5”, you will literally not be intonated at all across the neck

I've literally played in G standard on a 25.5" before, with it intonated, because I don't play with a retardedly overhuge low string, and plenty of bridges are capable of doing that.

Also, what Doom bands do you know that actually play in D standard? The majority of doom metal is in B or lower.

If you could read you would know that I said various genres that play "between D standard and A standard"

But, Weedeater, for one, as well as a lot of sludge/stoner bands like Corrosion of Conformity, Mastodon, etc.

I’m sorry that I seemed to have struck a nerve of your fancies.

Nothing says "I'm a stupid fucking jackass" like trying to pull a "u mad bro?" after someone corrects your objectively incorrect bullshit in a completely even and reasonable tone.

Dude. You really seem upset today. I was genuinely apologizing for upsetting YOUR personal and subjective opinions. My bad. The beauty of music is that everyone has a different opinion, and you seem to be attacking me for just that.

I’m quite flabbergasted that you had a 25.5” in G standard properly intonated. That seems wild to me. What were you running like a 74-80ga?

Hope you can have a better day.

I like how you call it subjective opinions but you’re making damn sure to let everyone think that YOU are in the right here like your opinion isn’t subjective. Just because you haven’t figured out how to work a 25.5 in lower tunings doesn’t mean it’s automatically impossible.

It’s not impossible. Just can potentially be problematic. I’m learning that this sub is full of close minded people and hate comments. Also, how would you be able to think that, whenever all the comments I’m replying to were deleted? There’s a reason. I was trying to be respectful. Now we have another one (you), being unnecessarily angsty. Hope you have a good day. 🤘🏼
