I dont know much about bass strings so i come to here to ask it...
Tuning a 5 strings Bass for a drop Bb, what would be the gauge recommended? I played on the bass of my bandmate and felt that the 5th string is a bit flabby and the others i felt that are ok, confortable, not sure but i think he uses the standard string gauge for 5 strigs bass... well the 5th is tuned down half tone and the others tuned up a half tone... we wanted to tune it to B drop, but we ended up not doing this, the tension on the 5th would be ok, since it's the B string but the others would be with too much tension...
Id like some help on this...
thx
