Triumph_Rock Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Hi guys, I'm talking to a band about potentially becoming there bassist. When I asked what tuning they play in. The answer I got back is D standard with drop C. So D standard is D, G, C, F. I take it D standard with drop C would mean C, G, C, F ? Anybody heard of this before?

Waddo Soqable Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 (edited) Coincidentally I've used exactly that tuning in some industrial metally thing years ago. I just tuned a headless 4string bass with "normal" strings down to this, and it was fine, as far as I was concerned anyway. I'd just add it wasn't named as above, in fact wasn't given a name at all to my knowledge, I just clumsily described it as "like drop D but all down with the lowest note as C" Edited August 27, 2021 by Waddo Soqable 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huw Foster Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Pretty sure Louis Johnson played 'Sunset Driver', an MJ b-side, with this tuning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
