RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 I have been using my Steinberger xm2 to drop tune to BEAD. I've had a quick noodle here and there, and am very happy with the setup. Apparently, due to the way the Bergers necks are made the tuning this way is not a problem. Question ; would a proper low B string fit in my bass? If so, would it make much of a difference to the way it's setup now? That's 2 questions . Oh well ..

dudewheresmybass Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 In answer to the first part- you'd have to widen the slots in the nut to accommodate a bead tuning, but not in an mdp kinda way Tbh, it might be easier to fit a new nut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted September 13, 2013 Author Share Posted September 13, 2013 Thanks for that. If it was a normal bass, I would take it to a tech and get truss rod adjusted and a new nut installed. But, it's a steinberger, so I'll probably leave it as is.
