I WAS tuning it down.

[QUOTE=Jolly McJollyson]What possible use could that tuning have?

Like I said, playing Sonic Youth songs. Little else.

By the way, is it possible to buy single strings, or do you have to buy a pack at a time? That A string I put on is super nasty and I don't really want to buy another pack, because the rest of the strings are fine.
