Guys,
I've started playing bass at worship, but I'm having a problem. I'm playing a 5 string BEADG tuning and it's messing with me on both the 1st and 5th strings. I'm just too used to a 6 string EADGBE layout. So, I'm thinking of getting a 6 string bass and tuning it EADGBE. Does anyone have any advice about this, and in particular, recommendations for a decent 6 string bass? I currently have a 5 string Carvin LB75 and it's a bummer because I really like the way it feels, sounds and looks. I'm going to try changing strings to a EADGB tuning, but I think I'll still have trouble because I'm so used to the high E, which is now a B. Rather than quit the band, I think I'll be buying a 6 string and tuning it EADGBE so I don't go crazy. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
