    Tuning one step down on 5 string--help!

    I did check the nut out and it looks like the string is fully into the slot. Good to hear an account of the same scale working well at least. These are all things I have considered, I will get to trying them out in the near future. For now I also placed an order from circle k for a thicker...

    Tuning one step down on 5 string--help!

    Hello everyone. I did a bit of digging around here prior to buying a set of strings for my new 5 string and have ended up with a dilemma. I write/record the bass and guitar in a studio project of mine. I tune my guitar to D standard. I had a 4 string bass until now. That bass I tuned to D...

    Okay, so these basses are all different, can we get that out of the way? I'm not here to compare apples to apples. I'm a guitarist primarily (...:ninja:). I have a little home studio and record all the instruments myself. I have had a cheap parts P-bass for a while but I just sold one of my...
