Stealth Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 Hey ivwe using a Gretsch Jet as a back up bass for a wile. New band tunes to Eb with a few drop D’s (Now drop Db) for good measure. It’s all getting a bit floppy. Any string choices for a bit more tension in short scale ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassApprentice Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 (edited) Could try and go up a gauge from what you're currently using. Another option is to contact Newtone and they can make a custom set that will suit your needs Edited October 16 by BassApprentice Language Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 Up a gauge on what you are already using. They'll probably be a bit tight in Eb and just right in D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pea Turgh Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 My son plays in a lot of drop tunings on his Junior Jet - bought 2nd hand with D’Addario flats, which are higher tension to start with. Makes for a good tension when tuned down. String preference is so highly personal, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
