String Bass
Posted April 12, 2010

Can you string a bass that has a low b string, with a c instead of up?
as if you have a 5 string bass which BEADG, can you take those ropes off, chuck'em, and put on new strings that are EADGC? or is it impossible and I have to find a bass that is made especially for EADGC tuning?
YES! that's exactly how I set up one of my 5 string, and I prefer it like that! How the simplest is to find a dealer who operates a 6 string, and buy that (I hope they will strike out a couple dollars, and keep below "B"?) The neck will need a simple adjustment, because the "tension" is less, but yes, it will work.
