Has anyone tried this tuning? I guess you'd need to restring your bass, but I think the creative possibilities would be worth the trouble.

I was wondering how a riff that sounded sooo monotone could look like it had to be played all over the fretboard.... |

They called it "DeutchBAG" tuning.

Since I am now closer to 50 than 18 I have switched to AGED. Seems to help hold the groove down better, and not nearly as distracting.
