For drop C tuning on a guitar, the best strings to use are typically heavier gauge strings, such as 11-52 or 12-56. These thicker strings can handle the lower tuning and maintain good tension and tone.
As I posted in your question about Ernie Ball bass strings, It's all a matter of opinion on bass strings. Try some different strings out, or ask around other Gibson players.
Probably the Ernie Ball Power Slinky bass strings. However if you have a good amount of money for strings, DR is the best there is in terms of durability and sound.
It can be difficult, but if you have a good ear tuning is trivial.
I think that EB strings would make quite a difference to the tone of your Growler, however, its all a matter of opinion.
No, on his current guitar he has steel strings, I am not sure of the brand, in the old days of Donovan, or the good old days shall I say, he did use La Bella silk and steel on his Gibson J 45 that combined with his low D tuning gave his that soft and "bass-ie" tone that so matched his voice
Guitar strings are often named for the notes to which they are tuned - STANDARD TUNING IS E-----------Highest string B----------- G---------- D---------- A---------- E----------Bass string In addition they are sometimes named as first, second third etc - first being the high E string.
Bad: strings buzz, bent neck, bad strings, etc. general bad guitar things
well you would probaly have to have some grooves on your nut made wider but 12 string 14s should work fine as long as you are using an apropriate tuning BEADF#B or CFBbEbGC should be fine there are other tuning options but this is an apropriate idea Eruannu
The Babolat RPM Blast is a very good string, but it loses a lot of tension after a couple weeks of play (requiring the player to adjust to the strings). However, it is not for everyone. As for the gauge, it all depends on what you want. If you want more spin and feel, then choose the 16 gauge strings. If you are prone to breaking racquet strings and want less bite on the ball, then you should choose the 17 gauge.
No. Even though most people play in standard tuning, all the strings, especially the thickest one, can be changed to a different pitch and still sound incredible. There's actually many popular tunings used by many great bass players of all genre's. The key to keeping it sounding good in different tunings is how you set the Gain, Tone, Treble, Middle, Bass, Presence, etc.
Tools that may be transported in a bass case are those which will be needed to maintain a bass guitar in good working condition. Tools one might need are tuning instruments, a screw driver, and a soft cloth for polishing the bass.
