      If you’ve been doing it yourself since high school and still haven’t figured out how to do it reliably with fully repaired and properly functioning equipment then you’re a fucking moron

        You don’t play string instruments, do you? There’s a lot that goes into any instrument’s sound, and some of it isn’t a matter of tuning. Especially when we talk about electric instruments. Maybe a pickup you installed on your bass has a small defect that introduces some noise into signal and you like the unique sound signature, for instance.

        More goes into the sound of an instrument than just tuning and the body being in good shape, so your repetition of this claim that if you can’t reproduce any given sound character on your instrument with some tuning you’re a “moron” is either reductionist for the sake of trolling or is deeply ignorant.
