5 string setup with high c


Recommended Posts

I had my old 5 string set up this way and it was a welcome change and you can get nickel plated D'addario 6 string sets, so you can always have a spare B lurking around if you ever need to converse with some bowel movements.

I got my D'addario's from [url="http://www.stringbusters.com"]www.stringbusters.com[/url]

I have actually just bought a fretless with the sole purpose of tuning it like this, after a couple of days I really think this could become my main bass and set up. I usually play fretted 6, but I found that I don't really use the B that much and it tends to flap a little, thus 5 tuned high c.

They are stainless steel High C (.020" .040" .060" .080" .100"), but I recently bought a couple of sets for my fretless and am really enjoying them. They come across as a bit rougher than some strings at first, but have a great sound. They are also fairly cheap from Thomann.de.

However, you can get a set of Warwick Yellow Label 5-string Set M,* High C (.025" .045" .065" .085" .105") which are Nickel. I don't know who stocks them though, but Thomann do the 6 string set for about £13.50! [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/warwick_yellow_label_41401.htm"]Bargain[/url]

Stringbusters also do the Yellow Label 5's & have a very quick delivery service.
