Rudyaard Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 i've been having my bass a while now (I love it ) and i found that there are more than just one tuning. i know the "standard" tuning is E,A,D,G, but in many songs i'd like to play i found that i have to tune my bass to "high to low-tune"; F#, C, G, C. How do i tune it that way? I have access to a electric bass/guitar tuner. anybody help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lateralus Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Seems like a pretty weird tuning, the song example would help. La lune ne garde aucune rancune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warri0r45 Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 It sounds wierd to me. The octave number of those notes would help. Bass standard are these notes (from high to low) and thier octave numbers: G3 ------------------string 1--------------------- super funky D3 ------------------string 2--------------------- happy time A2 ------------------string 3---------------------- bass finger E2 ------------------ string 4--------------------- plucking zone Guitar pro always helps with this kind of stuff. I reccomend getting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolvieee Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I'm thinking he's trying to play qotsa, thats the only band i've seen with that tuning, i've seen alot of DADG tuning OT: Luring is sooo easy to avoid. That's what those nice signposts are for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azvareth Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 You can try it out for free though for 15 days (in case you missed the big text saying "Try Guitar Pro"...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TokyoPolice Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Bass is so much different than guitar as far as alternate tunings go ... really the only productive alternate tuning is tuning down.
