    Double Bass 1/4 tuning

    So is that scale length 1/4 or half? So far I changed the endpin to a longer sturdier one. Anyone else have any ideas or recommendations?

    Thank you for sticking up for 1/4!!!! They have a special place in my heart as a little work horse! They may not have the low end or appeal but they are an upright just like the big ones. ;)

    I have some on them that seem ok, I just dont know age or brand. Maybe a dumb question, can you clean strings? If so what do you recommend? Like I said I just don't know there past.

    Hey Jason it's actually a 1/4 size. I know, I know. Why would a grown man play a 1/4? It fits in my two door car, it's easy to carry, and I live in an apartment. That and I have only been playing a few months. Thank you iipopes for the string suggestion! Do they make spiros in 1/4 size?

    What are 1/4 basses tuned to? Is it standard EADG or different because of it's size?
