The Bass in Fifths

[Jeff Moote]

I have read through Joel's site extensively. For more thoughts from pros using fifths tuning, check out:

Masuzzo has a method book out (one of, if not the first for fifths tuned bass) which I'm told is great but fairly elementary. Joel is working on one which he tells me is close to being ready.

Just curious, did you tune the E down to C or put a different string on? G up to A can work but is really tight, and A down to G is usually not too floppy.
