To drop the tuning on a 5-string bass, you need to loosen the strings to lower their pitch. This can be done by turning the tuning pegs counterclockwise until the desired tuning is reached. Make sure to tune each string evenly to maintain proper tension and avoid damage to the instrument.
The standard tuning notes for a 5-string bass guitar in drop A tuning are A, E, A, D, and G.
To play a song with drop C bass tuning, you need to tune your bass guitar to the notes C-G-C-F. This lower tuning gives a heavier sound. You can then play the song using the new tuning, adjusting your finger positions accordingly.
Some tips for playing bass in drop C tuning include adjusting your finger placement to accommodate the lower tuning, practicing scales and exercises to build finger strength, experimenting with different techniques to achieve a clear and powerful sound, and using heavier gauge strings to maintain tension and clarity.
The standard tuning for the bass B string is E.
For drop C tuning, a common and recommended string gauge is 11-56.
The standard tuning notes for a 5-string bass guitar in drop A tuning are A, E, A, D, and G.
To play a song with drop C bass tuning, you need to tune your bass guitar to the notes C-G-C-F. This lower tuning gives a heavier sound. You can then play the song using the new tuning, adjusting your finger positions accordingly.
Almost every song of Bullet For My Valentine is drop c tuning for bass and guitars... and Escape The Fate have a few drop c's too i think
Depends on the tuning. If you are playing on standard E up to drop C tuning, I would suggest a four strings bass, any lower tuning from standard C to A is more fitted for a five string bass.
one more string, broader range of notes to be played

Drop B means that the guitar has been detuned from standard tuning (E-A-D-G-B-e) to a lower pitch tuning where the bass string is now a B rather than an E, resulting in a tuning of B-F♯-B-E-G♯-C♯. It is unusual for standard 6 string guitars to be tuned in this manner because the lower you tune a guitar, the thicker the strings need to be in order to maintain a sufficient level of string tension (hence why bass guitars have very thick strings). Drop B tuning may be found on a baritone guitar or a 6-string bass such as the Fender Bass VI.
Yes it is called drop tuning. Drop tuning is used to play lower notes than you could normally play in standard tuning.
BF#BC Note that unless you have a long or special scale bass I wouldn't recommend this for a four string. On a five string it would be something like: BF#BCA and even in that case the last four strings are higher than a normally tuned bass which could make them break. I would recommend some sort of special drop tune capo as opposed to actually tuning a bass this way. Or if you need the scale... tune to AEADG or AEAD and capo at the second fret.
