Good songs in Drop C tuning

[Casezilla]

Does anyone know some good songs, excluding any System of a Down songs, in Drop C tuning? Not extremely hard songs.

I can't seem to find any.

I am not a technical player. I play all of the guitar and bass stuff and it's in dropped C.

Just fun music and a side project of mine. You can download them for free too.

How do you tune up a 4 banger for drop C properly? We've got some old drop C tunes that we are revamping that I havn't played bass on before and I don't have clue how to set up a bass for it.

Ernie Ball Power Slinkys. If not you will have some serious string flop. I have found with the Power Slinkys I don't have to make much if any kind of adjustment to the neck due to keeping the tension pretty close.

Seriously. You need thicker strings, but it's a huge pain to go back to standard tuning without creating some seriously high action or broken strings.

Is the gauge that works pretty well for me.

Erm... that's exactly why I want stuff in Drop C tuning, is it takes FOREVER to get back to Standard tuning. I just use Guitarpro though, never used a tuner once.

Anyways, can you explain that website?

Check out Anger by Downset and Davidian by Machine Head for fairly easy songs with some great heavy chunky riffs in.

While not "drop c" but still using a drop C, nearly everything off of Soundgarden's "Down on the Upside".

I think GHS Heavy gauge 34" Bass Boomers would fill that bill as well. .050 .075 .095 .115

I had SIT do a custom gauge string for me. Mine's set up - 55-75-95-120. The tension is pretty close to a "standard" gauge. I tend to get heavy handed so it helps a lot.

Down - Bury Me In Smoke
Down - Eyes of the South

pretty much every Down song is drop C and they're all easy

+1 on the eb power slinkys for drop C

Most Mudvayne songs...
