jp182 Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 hi everyone i've only ever brought one bass to gigs but i'm now bringing two cos i'm sick off having to drop d and retune 2/3 times a set, just wondered if any drop d players here have an opinion on what gauge they prefer for the bottom string, i want it to sound punchy but deep. ernie ball and rotosounds are my prefered string but then again i don't think i've ever tried any others lol any ideas?

LiamPodmore Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I used to use a .110 when i was in mostly Drop D. Had a lot of punch and was deep enough for my tastes. Liam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorick Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I use .105 as standard for drop D. How about using a Hipshot D-Tuner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
