Thanks regarding basses. It seems like much more of a pain in the ass than with guitar as you can rock pretty low with normal-ish guage strings (.11 or .12 gauge).

I bought a classical guitar from a luthier out in Warrenville. Played a couple he had built and picked one out. I couldn't bring it home that day because I rode my bike out there - gonna pick it up tomorrow. Can't wait.

In all those bands where the guitars are tuned to C standard or drop A or whatever, what are the bass players doing?In my case, it means heavier gauge strings (55-115 works without being too insane) and a proper setup including filing the nut for the thicker strings. Some people tune to standard E and just transpose, but I prefer being in the same tuning as the guitar despite the extra work to make the bass playable.It makes the bongs rattle better.
