hey guys

just wondering what crazy tunings people have come up with and tried out, the good ,the not so good, or the straight up weird.

lets get creative :bassist:

I've been experimenting with one that works well for coming up with a totally different sound, which is great for getting out of the same old intervals and patterns:

D-A-B-F#

give it a try and see what you think!

C G C F is slowly becoming more popular. i like it.

you can make your bass a chello with C G D A

B D A D G is 5 string drop d.

D A D A is pretty sweet to.

True that. You must be a Kyuss fan :bassist:

These drop tunings are for people who struggle to find an octave in standard :hiding:
