fretmeister Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Just tune the big al BEAD instead. I don't do 5 strings so that is what I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I play in a function band and a 5 would be useful for probably no more than 10% of the set. I'd go a cheapy and keep the big Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
