| ____________________________________ [May 24,2009 1:24am - xgodzillax ""] you can easily play drop C on a 4 string. ive done it many times, just get thicker strings. FAIL |
| _________________________________ [May 26,2009 8:34am - HxCbass ""] yes but the problem with doing that is it causes the neck to boe. and id rather not have that happen to a $400 instument.. |

Go to your local music shop, tell them that you want your bass set up for drop c tuning. That way they can adjust the bridge, neck, and intonation so the neck won't bow or warp when keeping it downtuned. It's maybe 45 bucks at Guitar Center plus the price of new strings. |
