I CAN'T GET MY BASS TO STAY IN TUNE!!! #Mad I just started playing, and I only have an Ibanez GSR 4-string, but every string goes flat 3 minutes into playing. And by flat I mean flat enough to make the instrument sound like complete crap. Could it be my amp? I have my final amp as of now, because my dad played an electric-acoustic bass, and just before he stopped, he got a pair of new, 90 watt, Hartke bass amps. These things are monster. Might the sound just put out by these things be making my bass flat? I do have a tuner, and the string itself is a bit flat, but not as much as I can hear.
