Your bands tuning?

[MacDaddy]

One of my bands, Bordel, use baritone tuning for the guitars

The other, Highest Order Of Angels, is standard tuning.

I use a 5 er and have a 4 tuned BEAD.

[ashevans09]

Standard and drop D in my main band.

Eb for the guitar w***ery band I'm in.

Doesn't matter to me though, just stick with my 5er

[ZPQ]

Standard - anything else would be too confusing :wacko:

[krazy_olie]

Standard but I quite the tone from playing a semitone down. I would like to try a D,G,C,F,Bb tuning on a 5 string.

[barneythedog]

standard EADG. WHY would I want anything else ??

[Mr Mike]

My old metal band both the guitartists had 7 strings (gotta luv the good old nu metal days) and we tuned to A[i]b[/i]. I hated playing that low the Ab (B on my six string) sounded like a wet fart and i had to use stuidly high gaued strings.

Meshuggah-tastic!

[tayste_2000]

DGCF or ADGCF depending if I'm using a 4 or 5 string.

In the studio though it's EADG and BEADG

3 of my 4 strings have drop tuners so I can drop to D or C depending on if they are down a tone or in standard

Why do you tune differently live and in the studio?

Because the producer makes the singer sing everything as high as humanly possibly which live just isn't realistic night after night.

Also makes it sound heavier live.

I play 5 strings in a function band and I also teach bass so nowadays I pretty much stick to BEADG. I was in a technical instrumental metal band a while ago and for that I tuned one 5 string to Bb standard and the other AEADG. For my original rock band I keep my 5's to BEADG and my 4's to DADG.

CGCF

Am thinking of buying a five string and tuning either

ACGCF or

CE#A#D#G#

Also would like to afford to be able to have one bass setup in E so I can practice different styles.

[Sibob]

Functions Band - E,A,D,G (although we did once experiment with down a half-step, but only to see if the singer noticed ) Tis my Jazz Bass.

First Signs Of Frost
- Older Tunes D,A,D,G (before i joined, we still play a couple of them though, so i have my Corvette $$ in D)
- Newer Tunes C,F,Bb,Eb (since i've joined, Basically drop C standard). My 'ThingRay' is setup for this, with Newtone Strings she sounds awesome!.
