Geo999 Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Hello all, My band and I have completed writing a few songs for an EP, but before we decide to record, I was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to what string gauge would be best for C sharp standard tuning (all strings down 1 1/2 steps). Thanks, G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 What sort of string tension do you like? Kinda between normal and 5 string set there, even a heavy normal set will be slack, and tuning a 5 string set up a tone is asking for trouble, if you do it, get a quality set as you'll be straining the cores, and have a backup play in case it doesn't like, especially if you pick hard. When I went super low I got some custom wound, as I like high tension. Got it done by Newtone strings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
