tuning

[kake_eater]

ok now i know some of you didnt like my last post but ohh well.... i was wondering why other bands put the tuning different? it seems to make the bass cool in sound to me but i dont know the different tunings only that there way different from mine. so i was wondering if anyone here plays there bass in different tunings or keeps it normal.so if you know any...tell me!

[Dave Castelo]

both... i change tunnings 3 or 4 times during a gig:

-MAIN: C#ADG
-SECOND: EADG
-THIRD: CADG
-FOURTH: C#F#DG

as you see, i just change the fourth string...

when i´m at home i play Standard all the time...

Standard tuning , 96% of the time.
I use a Hipshot D-Tuner to get a low D once in a while.

[cephas45]

get a 5 string and you won't need to tune down to anything

[NightVampZ]

I usually just play with standard tuning because, the way that I play, if the cords are to lose, they hit the pickups and it sounds like crap... But for some songs, I will downtune to Drop-D.

i play my five string tuned E-A-D-G-C but i guess that's still standard tuning, (standard intervals between strings)

[AllodoX]

Alistair : standard 5-string tuning is B E A D G


oy yeah.. my bass is tuned in C F A# D# G#
which is sort of normal for my kind of music, i gues.. all bands i know of that make similar music are also tuned in C....

[JoBo-86]

I use drop D alot. Also Db Ab Db Gb and Eb Ab Db Gb tuning, but not a whole lot

[tucker]

I tune down to:

first band: regular, never drop D, 5string

second bandmain): on a 5 stringer, i go
low to high-A,D,C,G,F then sometimes we drop to C. we once dropped two whole steps( accidentally)

but at home i put a capo on my best 5 string and practice with that so i get regular again.
