    Drop tuning

    I have just started jamming with a band that tune their guitars to Drop A# (or Drop Bb). Low to high it is A#,F,A#,D#,G,C. I play on a 4 string Warwick Thumb NT. I have had to trial and error a bit with the strings to get the tension right. I seem to be doing okay at the moment with a set...

    Afraid to play my bass?

    I am really only re-iterating what everyone else has said. But..... You should definately play it. Don't stress about dinging it. The odd ding is inevitable. The ding will tell a story. With any luck you'll ding it at a really cool gig and it'll help you remember that moment forever...
