Is that a 6 string bass?

[Diplo]

We're gonna have one hundred pictures of the instruments and no videos. I hate this.

I wonder what tuning Stephen will tune to on this album? He has a trend that gets progressively lower every album. Koi No Yokan was in Drop E (E,B,E,A,D,G,B,E).. His next choice of  tuning would be what Meshugga tune their 8 strings to F, B♭, E♭, A♭, D♭,G♭, B♭, E♭.  Unless Stephen gets a 9 string for this album lol.

[DeftonesNZ]

I think someone asked him that already and he said he was done with the dropping and wouldn't go lower now, think he's trying to work on his technique now instead of just changing tuning to sound different,I remember he was talking about how the level of skill on guitar has risen and how people on YouTube have inspired him to get better, I know Ben from DEP sort of does the same thing, he was a good guitarist to began with but he says having the same tuning forced him to get more creative because it becomes obvious if your repeating yourself, maybe Stef is trying a similar thing which is cool, I would even like to see Stef go back up a bit especially if Sergio going to be playing a 6 string bass to get more seperation, I could see it becoming a muddy mess if they're both going to be operating in the same tonal centres.

I always thought a 7-string was the sweet spot for Stef. Though I wouldn't mind the bite that White Pony had.

I wonder how soon until the first track release. I'm getting antsy, visiting this bored and the r/deftones wayyy too much.

Me too. It's probably going to be a long time until the first "street track" like previously Rocket Skates or Leathers is going to be released. Maybe around a month or two before the official album release. For now we're stuck with studio and gear pictures. Although we'll definitely hear a new song live in May. Let's hope someone records it

[N0S3BLEED976]

If only Deftones would release some short videos from their recording sessions. Every other band does this nowadays on instagram, except for them 

[DeftonesNZ]

Yeah that's pretty lame they used to be pretty good with the S/T and Eros session clips but their social media from the studio is pretty bad now which sucks considering a phone could be used to make those videos now.

[Freedomsoldier17]

they probably want to keep everything up to 100% speculation

Is Sergio wearing a bootleg hat with a horribly disfigured New York Yankees logo or is a logo of some hip new clothing brand? As a native New Yorker, it's throwing me the FUCK off.

What is the so-called "shopping cart song"

[luisch]

2gether



From EMG to Fishman

[deftoner664]

Excited about Stephen going to Fishman pickups, because it should offer new tonality to his neck- thru body ESPs'. Majority of his guitars throughout his career have been equipped with EMGs and were a staple to his tone. I'm glad he's switching it up..  Notice the big pile of expo markers on that table in the first pic? Maybe we'll get some studio pics of some working song titles like we did in the past.

Yeah, this is driving me nuts as well.
