Return of the C, G, D, A

Yes you are getting tired of hearing about my exploration of the C, G, D, A tuning of my instruments, that is assuming some one other then me is reading. Since however it does fascinate me I will now return to it.

This evening while surfing the syber waves a line came across the screen talking about tuning a bass to C, G, D, A so I did it. It turned out to be a lot of fun to play. A normal bass tuning has the low string tuned to an E. Now with the C as the low note, you have dropped the low frequency from the original 1 being the E down 3 octaves to the C now being the 1. Originally when the idea arose I thought the strings would be wrong for this tuning but went with the gut and proceeded. The low C vibrates right through the instrument.
