    Alternate tuning string recommendations

    Hello all, I’m fairly new to bass so my knowledge on string types and tensions is a little bit lacking. I gather that alternate tunings can’t be obtained by simply getting one set of heavy gauge strings and that I’ll most likely have to mix and match from multiple sets. My question is this : The...

    Strings for Drop D tuning

    Hey all I have just discovered the joy of playing in drop D. Since I play short scale that “D” string can get quite floppy. What are your recommendations for a stiff round wound? Nickle or stainless it doesn’t matter.

    Having trouble setting up rick 4003 for drop D

    Hey guys, I joined a band recently and we play almost exclusively in drop D. My bass is set up the way I like it but the E string being tuned down to D makes it quite floppy. I play aggressively with a pick and sometimes the clank becomes too strong. I’ve tried raising the action on just the E...

    Alternating between 2 different tunings

    Hello :) For the band I play in, I tune my 5 string bass to ADADG, however when I'm playing at home, most of the stuff I play is in E standard, so I simply tune the 2nd lowest string to E and be done with it (most songs only use the 4 high strings so I'm fine), which works, but the issue I'm...

    Down the "Rabbit Hole" Alice! 6 - String Gauges (34" & 35" scale)

    I've recently run into some frustrations with finding full 6 string sets with any variety of gauges. To get gauge options, one usually has to jump brands to find them. If you look for super long scale for a 35" It's even worse. However I have come up with a current solution for one of my 35"...

    Hey TB, I've just picked up a Sire V7 Vintage, had the dude set it up with some GHS Bass Boomers 50-115. Gotta say it sounds so thick and goes great with my heavy picking style. Does anyone else use thick strings for Drop D or know any bassists that do?

    What brand / model tuning pedal do you use and why? I'm doing a lot of practice at home in E, but playing the same stuff live in drop D. Tuning at home isn't a problem, I use my computer. Tuning at a gig is where my gear is lacking.
