Hey guys
I'm in a doom band and we tune drop c so strings are c,g,c,f
We play a lot of notes up by the 10th and 12th frets.
When I use a five I tune the b up to c and the rest is in standard
My question is,to my ears the c sounds better on an e string tuned standard on the 8th fret rather then detuned to c on the 12th. It's the same over the neck really
Is this because the notes sound better with strings that have more tension ie more clarity
Thoughts ?
Sorry to ramble
