Let's see your BASS VI, people

[Bon Hoga]

I play a bass vi I built in drop C# with Kalium .110 on the low and a .105 set for the high. I also have a Squier in D standard with Kalium .110’s. It’s doable but pretty floppy.

Is there much difference in tension between a .105 and a .110 tuned to D?

I noticed it, but I’m not sure it’s really a massive difference. That said, incremental differences are really noticeable on this sort of instrument to me. The close string spacing makes for a huge difference in feel.

Just finished it.

That looks super nice. Those Squier IVs are so awesome playing and sounding. I miss mine.

Any of you who tune your bass VIs down to any success?

I do aenstandard (dadaae) on my Ultra VI with great success!

I don't have to, +/- 24 on a per-string basis.

Thank you, synth pickup GR-55/VI combo.
