Drop E (I’m talking E0 and a .170-string here!) in a tune

[archisland]

This was a bit of a challenge to mix and whatnot - the low E is pretty much bellow what us humans can perceive, so there was a bit of tone tweaking needed (however, not too much!) to make it audible in the mix

The 37” scale of the Dingwall and the .170-string certainly helped IMHO.

Then comes the question... why?
Well, it’s fun? And what better excuse, in the spirit of rock n roll, do you need?

Nice. I'm really diggin' this, man. My guitarist wants to go down to Drop E and I have a new Ibanez SRMS805. I don't think the .170 will be enough, but I might string it F#BEAD and put a detuner on the F#.

It's been a decade since I've tuned that low. Had a bass setup for Eb once. Sounded decent after I put an Audere preamp in it!
