While playing around on the bass, Sam Rivers tuned a bass to its lowest tuning and started playing a funky bass rift.

While Jones's report was widely read and used as the basis of a number of subsequent accounts, and therefore today is often considered to be evidence of a standard tuning, it is more likely that a variety of tunings were experimented with and in some cases employed, as was and still is the case with many other string instruments, particularly those within folk cultures.

While only a limited number of local stations can normally be received at satisfactory signal strengths in any given area, tuning into other channels may reveal weaker signals from adjacent areas.

While piano tuning is normally done by trained technicians, guitars such as acoustic guitars, electric guitars, and electric bass guitars are usually tuned by the guitarist themselves.

While various tunings are ( and have been ) used, the standard tuning for the gadulka is A-E-A for the three playing strings ; the sympathetics ( resonating strings ) are tuned chromatically to cover all notes besides A and E ( depending on the number of sympathetics ).

While temperature changes allow tuning over 100 cm < sup >− 1 </ sup >, it is limited by slow tuning rates ( a few hertz ), due to the thermal inertia of the system.

While the most common current tuning is DAd, it is often easier for the beginning player to tune to DAA or the so-called " Reverse Ionian " tuning, DGd.

While Praetorius made some refinements to figured-bass practice and to tuning practice, his importance to scholars of the 17th century derives from his discussions of the normal use of instruments and voices in ensembles, the standard pitch of the time, and the state of modal, metrical, and fugal theory.

While the physician typically assesses the appearance of the feet, presence of ulceration, and ankle reflexes, the most useful physical examination findings for large fiber neuropathy are an abnormally decreased vibration perception to a 128-Hz tuning fork ( likelihood ratio ( LR ) range, 16 – 35 ) or pressure sensation with a 5. 07 Semmes-Weinstein monofilament ( LR range, 11 – 16 ).

While this offers the advantage of enabling specific tuning of the imposition for an output device, the cost is that there is no preview until the output is produced.

While the F2 engine might have been overwhelmed by the chassis ' bulk, tweaks made by Peter Whitehead to the unit in his car showed that the design had tuning potential.

While one man was cranking / tuning, another was playing.

While Corgan briefly considered simply tuning the guitar down a half-step and playing the song as if it were in the key of E, he said, " There was something about the E voicing that I liked.

While all laser gain media allow small shifts in output wavelength, only a few types of lasers allow continuous tuning over a significant wavelength range.

While WATR-TV was on UHF, television manufacturers were now required to include all-channel tuning.

While all prokaryotes reproduce asexually ( without the formation and fusion of gametes ), mechanisms for lateral gene transfer such as conjugation, transformation and transduction are sometimes likened to sexual reproduction.

While a group of bits malfunction may be resolved by error detection and correction mechanisms ( see above ), storage device malfunction requires different solutions.

While a group of bits malfunction may be resolved by error detection and correction mechanisms ( see above ), storage device malfunction requires different solutions.

While philosophers have generally considered the human mind to include broad faculties, such as reason and lust, evolutionary psychologists describe evolved psychological mechanisms as narrowly focused to deal with specific issues, such as catching cheaters or choosing mates.

While the heritability of IQ has been investigated for nearly a century, there is still debate about the significance of heritability estimates and the mechanisms of inheritance.

While it is one of the most commonly used concepts in logic it must not be mistaken for a logical law ; rather, it is one of the accepted mechanisms for the construction of deductive proofs that includes the " rule of definition " and the " rule of substitution " Modus ponens allows one to eliminate a conditional statement from a logical proof or argument ( the antecedents ) and thereby not carry these antecedents forward in an ever-lengthening string of symbols ; for this reason modus ponens is sometimes called the rule of detachment.

While it is clear that there are innate mechanisms that enable the learning of language and define the range of languages that can be learned, it is not clear that these mechanisms in anyway resemble a human language or universal grammar.

While light and cheap to manufacture, these mechanisms had low inertia, making motor speed instabilities more pronounced.

While IntServ mechanisms do work, it was realized that in a broadband network typical of a larger service provider, Core routers would be required to accept, maintain, and tear down thousands or possibly tens of thousands of reservations.

While results vary, many of these mechanisms can be cumbersome and onerous in traditional games.

While animal models are acknowledged to model merely aspects of depressive illness, human and animal brains are very similar at a molecular level, enabling detailed study of the molecular mechanisms involved in ECT.

While plants do utilise many of the same epigenetic mechanisms as animals, such as chromatin remodeling, it has been hypothesised that plant cells do not have " memories ", resetting their gene expression patterns at each cell division using positional information from the environment and surrounding cells to determine their fate.

While flood modelling is a fairly recent practice, attempts to understand and manage the mechanisms at work in floodplains have been made for at least six millennia.

While deployed DOCSIS RFI 1. 0 equipment generally only supports best efforts service, the DOCSIS RFI 1. 0 Interim-01 document discussed QoS extensions and mechanisms using IntServ, RSVP, RTP, and Synchronous Transfer Mode ( STM ) telephony ( as opposed to ATM ).

While there are usually legal mechanisms designed to deter marine mammals, such as anti-predator nets or harassment devices, individuals are often illegally shot.

While the exact mechanisms have yet to be elucidated, peroxidases are known to play a part in increasing a plant's defenses against pathogens.

While a number of insects use frictional vibration mechanisms to generate sound, this particular acoustic mechanism is unique in the animal kingdom.

While the etiology of conduct disorder is complicated by an intricate interplay of biological and environmental factors, identifying etiological mechanisms is crucial for obtaining accurate assessment and implementing effective treatment.

While the CBS color broadcasting schedule gradually expanded to twelve hours per week ( but never into prime time ), and the color network expanded to eleven affiliates as far west as Chicago, its commercial success was doomed by the lack of color receivers necessary to watch the programs, the refusal of television manufacturers to create adapter mechanisms for their existing black-and-white sets, and the unwillingness of advertisers to sponsor broadcasts seen by almost no one.

While many simple mechanisms are completely first-order, most complex mechanisms are only first-order within a range of operation.

While these mechanisms have distinct characteristics, they often occur simultaneously in the same system.

While a hacker strives to understand the mechanisms behind what he or she uses, even when such extended knowledge would have no practical value, a lamer only cares to learn the bare minimum necessary to operate the device in the way originally intended.
