[quote name='Dubhghaill' post='639650' date='Oct 29 2009, 01:34 AM']So I've got a few quid coming my way soon due to Christmas bonus.
I'm looking for a bass that will be able to go one octave lower than my 8 string guitar, which is tuned to F standard (F,Bb,Eb,Ab,Db,Gb,Bb,Eb).
I'm thinking about getting a 6 string, tuned F,Bb,Eb,Ab,Db,Gb -but the high Gb is optional. I get the feeling I'll need a crazy scale like 36"+
I want something that sounds tight and punchy. Generally I love the sound of Stingrays and Wals, but this will have to be something completely different. I don't think the middy sound work in a mix tuned that low.
Thoughts or suggestions?[/quote]
Not any use to you but why do you need the low F?
