That's a really great article, Strum. It's interesting that you post this because I've been going apoplectic trying to get the low E to tune properly on my Floyd. I'm going to try some of his tips and see if it helps. I do know that using the neck pickup with the tone rolled back really helps tuning my bass.
Update OK, I just tried tuning my Floyd by plucking the string at the 12th fret. MAN does that make a difference! Tuning was much easier and when I was done it sounded a lot better. Thanks for the little ray of sunshine, Strummy. Almost made me as happy as the bakery gang and friend.

I skimmed it but its really peaked my interest and plan on reading further tomorrow...thanks!:
Awesome article! That was a great read and I'm going to have to take it in a couple more times.
Thanks for postin' bud.
Yeah, I read all of that yesterday and applied it last night...I really dig plucking from the 12th fret, I mean it doesnt feel natural, but it does make it more consistent.
Although I would have liked a lil more bout intonation...I did learn a bit from that link.
Thanks:

I tried to tweak intonation on 2 guitars on the w/e and man, in my mind I know it's just physics, but in my heart I'm convinced there is black magic at work there. I have huge troubles getting it 100% right. I'm reading up on it as we speak (err I mean I'm working hard)
