| Hi Kim,
My Larrivee is a 34" scale 5-string fretless acoustic bass guitar and I usually use the same strings on it that I use on my other basses -- D'Addario EXL220 and EXL280. I use lots of different tunings with the Larrivee, but I tend to use EADGC if I'm going to be playing it on a session where I need to be able to improvise a lot or sight-read. I usually use a combination of standard (the EXL220's) and piccolo strings (the EXL280's) on it, but I change the combination depending on what seems to work best for the tuning. Sometimes I'll use all four piccolo strings and a low A from the standard set, sometimes all the standard strings and a high C from the piccolo set, sometimes other combinations. I've tried it with a low B, but it doesn't seem to like to be tuned that low, so it's usually somewhere at D below low E or above. Fortunately, it is a very forgiving instrument and I rarely do anything to maintain it or even adapt the set-up for the different stringings. |
