Ok, this might sound stupid so bare with me, I am a bass noob. Anyway... I am a guitarist and don't have a clue about bass but I bought a 5 string bass because I have to lay down some bass lines.
My dilemma: my guitars are tuned to drop C. How do I tune so I won't have difficulties playing my parts?
I thought I tune from standard B-E-A etc. a half step up so it will be like C-F-A# etc. Does anyone have a better idea? Also if I do it this way, what gauge would you use? 40's, 45's or 50's?
Thanks
