Shabbs Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 (edited) Hi Thinking of tuning my 5 string to EADGC, what guages and indeed string set's would suit this tuning? appreciated Edited December 15, 2016 by Shabbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazzbass Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 I'd use a normal set 45-105 or maybe 50-110 and buy a C string from bassstringsonline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrackerJackLee Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 (edited) [font=courier new,courier,monospace]I think of all the great chords that could be played on EADGB! Just starting with the major triad in root, first and second inversion: | | | | 5 | | | 3 | | | 1 | | | | | 5 | | | | | 1 | | 3 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 5 1 3[/font] Edited December 16, 2016 by CrackerJackLee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 (edited) I'd stick to the gauge I always used for E A D & G and use a 30 for the C - a 25 always felt too thin and shrill to me Strings direct do single strings for Rotosound, D'addario, Elixir, Elites & DR so buy a regular set and then add in your choice of C or you could even make your own custom set entirely of singles. My personal favourite set would be Chromes - 32, 45, 60, 80, 110. That way you could still drop the E as well if needed Edited December 16, 2016 by Delberthot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
