| Jul 5, 2014 at 7:12 | comment | added | Tim | One other thought well, two. I'm working on a 4 string bass, tuned to BEAD. With the right strings, it works well. Other - the lower you go, the better the amp. and speakers you'll need. | |

| Jul 5, 2014 at 6:49 | comment | added | Tim | Corrected - B is the fifth of E,and it's early here...A fiver will do everything a four string will - and more ! Ebay, less than £!00 last week. A cracking 5 string ! Money back off your old one. What's not to like? Think with the Gibson thing, the strings will go floppy with lowering the tuning.Even if you could get one for bass. In the pipeline, maybe.There could well be a MIDI method, but that'd involve another pick-up... | |

| Jul 5, 2014 at 6:41 | comment | added | B. Szonye | Oh and you're right that retuning isn't too bad, although I'm not a big fan of the floppy strings you end up with that way, which is another reason I was curious if there was an electronic method. | |
| Jul 5, 2014 at 6:40 | comment | added | B. Szonye | Good point, that's another way to do it if I don't mind buying another bass (which is also not cheap). By the way, a B string is only a perfect 4th lower than the E string, not a 5th. | |
