What do you think? | |

Spent years in big bands playing stuff i Eb, and considering permanently tuning down a semitone. But then when it came to the pop section of the gig, I'd have to go standard again! Really don't know why I learned it in Eb, although it wouldn't take much to notch it up to E, but then it usually gets played in Eb, so I'm stuffed playing with others. It's nice on bass, though - the 5 string comes out to play! | |
