The standard 4-string bass (either guitar or upright) is tuned *one* octave lower than each of the bottom four strings on a guitar, (i.e. E-A-D-G). Five and six string basses usually have a low B string tuned a fourth lower than the low E: B-E-A-D-G or B-E-A-D-G-C. -- joq _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
