B-E-A-D BASS TUNING: Delivers 5-string low tone with 4-string convenience

This post is really meant to highlight an older article here on High on Technology. It's for bass players using 4-string basses who are curious about that EXTRA LOW TONE ability of a 5-string.

Maybe you don't have the money for a 5-string or maybe the extra string is a put off or maybe you have a bunch of 4-string basses already. 

This article explains my journey, converting a 4-string (which was receiving no love) to a 4-string tuned like the bottom four strings of a five string. I've updated it a little. Check it out if you're curious about making deeper bottom end tones.

As always, thanks for reading High on Technology, Good Music To You!
