brammerd Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 my bass is tuned in Bb F Bb Eb what tuning would this be? and what strings do you recommend for this? answers would be appreciated Quote
brammerd Posted February 10, 2009 Author Posted February 10, 2009 I found out that it's drop Bb or drop A# tuning but is that even possible on a 4 string bass guitar? Quote

[quote name='brammerd' post='405622' date='Feb 10 2009, 06:52 PM']and what strings do you recommend for this? answers would be appreciated[/quote] You are not a million miles away from the bottom 4 of a 5 string B E A D so any 5 sring set and chuck away the G String.

Mr. Foxen Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 I tune ADGC and have .145, .110, .090(?), .070, forgot what the G is, but somewhere around there. Depends how slack you like your strings, I like them tight. Quote
