    Stringing a 5 with E to C, - any issues?

    in Repairs and Technical

    Posted

    I'm looking at restringing my Elrick 5 string 35" with an E to C scale (rather than change it for a 6er)
    Got that Matt Garrison thing going on in my head.

    Is there anything in your experience that I should be careful of?

    Plan was to remove the B and shift the others up one, adding a 30 gauge C string. The nut shouldnt be a biggie as the Elrick has a zero fret. Iam concerned about the long term effect of changing the tension in the neck.

    A guy on Youtube, Arcellus, seems to have got it sussed with his Bolt on, but any problems with it being a hybrid neck (semi through set neck affair).?

    Before I go for it I'd appreciate your thoughts

    I love this forum. You get good advice from nice peeps so there's no need to re invent the bass every time an issue pops up.
    Thanks to you guys who replied and those tubed in through 'morphic resonance' (now That's a name for a band ;-p)

    Hi, I'm a bit confused. If I looking to replace my strings on my newly acquired Crm 5. When (if :-P) I get some spare cash what strings would you recommend. Oh, and is there a difference between'normal' bridge a stringing and'through' the body??

    Any thoughts, advice, recommendations gratefully received..I try to play pizz and Arco so a happy medium would be great. Thanks
