show me some weird tunings! if possible, could you 'explain' the tuning? by that i mean put for example: E dropped to C#, A Raised to C etc. etc.
here is the Kim Gordon Sonic Youth tunings:
F#F#GA
CDEG? this was on the fretboard of one of her basses, so i assumed that this was that basses tuning.
these are the only tunings on her that i found.
one rule: no bass is allowed to be tuned in 4ths. it can be tuned in 3rds, 5ths, anything, just no 4ths. |

| | | A wonderful finnish metal band called Stam1na tunes to A-D-A-D. They even used to have a 5 stringed bass without the two highest strings  |

Especially as I'm using Labella's black nylon wound strings... really deep and rich indeed. What a way to invigorate a flagging interest in an instrument which, up until I used the new tuning, just sat in a corner gathering dust!

Also, my regular band, for some songs has tuned to DEAD, EGAD, DEAF, DEED, FA...you know where I'm going with this one, DADD, etc.
Also I have a song where I'm in E Bb F# G.
