Sorry, if this has been asked before, I simply couldn't find it via search, so here's the thing...

Bass is Cort C4, tuned standartly from E to G, but mate wants it tuned from B to D...
He's planning to use Warwick Darklord strings (65-85-105-135).

He doubts, if the standart nut is going to 'accept' such heavy strings..

He also doubted about tuners' and bridge's stability - what about that also?

I've never had any bussiness with it, and couldn't comment about all this, so, I hope, you guys would help us..


Cheers,
Faith.

As longs as the nut is cut, and the setup is done, no probs at all. I play 4 strings tuned ADGC with strings from .145 to .070, not sure of the inbetween 2,might be good to keep the old nut as is, and get a new one to make big slots in. I think the Dark Lord strings are taped, so saddle raising might be needed, no biggie.

Just re-sended all this stuff to my friend, hope, this helps :huh:


Cheers everyone,
Knew, I could rely on BC :)

BTW, I think, it's quite frequent questie, and, hard-to-find- via search (for me it was, anyway..), so maybe we should make this sticky?

All in all, it covers not only going from EADG to BEAD, but, tuning change in general, so that's the point, i think..
