I'm playing around in this G#C#G#C#F# tuning and it's a bit strange to me. I'd still have to transpose some of our songs or i wouldn't really use that 5th string at all. We play a lot of open C# and I really don't want to have to hit that 5th fret on the 5th string all the time (even though it...

Hahah I now see how wack that tuning was for a bass. I'm excited to experiment with the new tuning. I'll report back so if anything it may help the next person w/ tuning woes.

@tdub0199 Right, but in my old tuning C#G#C#F#A# that was pulling some of my strings 2 full steps up. May not have been an issue, I have no clue about setting up basses.

Good call, he must be suffering from dementia because he had set up my old bass with that tuning in the past. And yes, we do a lot of open note playing so I agree the standard would be a pain to work with. I'm going to play around with that low G# tuning tonight to see how I like it. Thanks...

For years I've played a 5 string tuned to C#G#C#F#A# which directly matched my guitar players tuning C#G#C#F#A#D#. This was all I knew since I was originally a guitar player who switched to play bass for a band. I recently had my bass stolen and just picked up a new 5 string which I took...
