Reminded me of the tuning for "Iris" by the Goo Goo Dolls but I checked and they used B D D D D D. Then I thought of "Suite Judy Blue Eyes" by CSN&Y but I checked and Stills was tuned to E E E E B E. So I guess you could say its kind of a hybrid between those 2 tunings. Did you have to customize the string guages? Seems like it would be difficult to achieve with a standard set.
Yes! I haven’t been able to find this tuning anywhere else yet either but it’s probably out there somewhere. I’m using all standard string gauges, the high e string is a little dicey but other than that it’s very doable.
Very interesting tuning. Thanks for sharing. It will be a change of pace for me to try instead of the open G & D tunings I’m playing around with.
Thanks Steve! I hope you enjoy
I actually used to tune my bass like this BEBF#.
Thats awesome Guillaume, I'd be interested to hear how that sounds, probably about as low as you could get!
