A# vs C# which tuning do you like better for this clip/styl?

[bubbastain]

Drop C or B doesn't sound right because it's a guitar not a bass.

Get a 6 string bass then tune it and play it like a guitar.
Just put on the lightest set of bass strings, and have a cookie monster feast of growling.

I actually don't like "cookie monster" vocals. When I write stuff, I usually have a guy yelling(not growling) or a female with a clean voice in mind.[/quote]

I meant "cookie monster" bass guitar tone, you know, tuned way down low with high gain/distortion played like a guitar.
Think Spinal Tap doing "Big Bottom", "talk about bun cakes, my girls got'um".

I'm going to have try that out myself. [/quote]

I actually saw a band last year that had two bass players and it was pretty cool. Definitely brought the Big Bottom.

How about trying Bb and Db and see how those sound?

Now that was funny hehe!

I liked the intro in C# and the heavy stuff in A#...LOL

FYI, there is no A# in the modern 12 tone system. It's actually Bb.

Carry on.

What the hell is the modern 12 tone system??? My Boss tuner says A#. Of course I'm about as musically ignorant as they come. I know one scale and don't even know what it's called. 100% true.

Hmmm...interesting.
I don't have a Bb on my guitar.
