C Flat Tuning

[minibassg]

Hi,

I was asked to tune my 5 strings bass to C Flat Tuning,
but didn't get how should I tune each string for that.

Would love some help

C Flat is B. Your leg is being pulled.

It's hard to know what is meant by that.

The standard 5-string bass tuning has the lowest string tuned to a low Cb (enharmonically and more commonly known as a B natural)

This sounds like the old Navy trick of sending a new sailor to request 500 feet of chow line.

I once sent a guy into a store to find a pipe stretcher.

Or send a guy to the ships supply officer to get some E.A.R. wax...

Tell them you need to borrow their left-handed string winder.

A pound of vacuum is a useful addition to a speaker enclosure if you're tuning to Cb.

He got that scale from Basicmusictheory.com? Maybe he's serious, and seriously in need of further education.

You can't tune a bass to a scale. You only play it. Not to be snarky, but I don't think either you, or the guy who gave you this has enough experience to be worrying about melodic minor scales...

+1.

Especially since, for a melodic minor scale, ascending and descending are different and the OP only posted half.

Yes you would need another bass for the second half of the scale.

And now I need a towel to wipe the coffee off my computer screen.

Only in classical. Not in jazz.

We used to tell other kids that they need a metric adjustable wrench to work on their bike. I actually knew a kid who went into a hardware store and asked for one and they sold him a new adjustable wrench.

Good times, good times....

Bring me the breastplate stretcher!

Pick up a bottle of blinker fluid for your car while you're at it.
