Jazzers: Well, I took the plunge, bought a bass
(g)string and tuned my Es 150 down a 5th according to
the directions someone posted (thanks to whomever it
was!). (A, D, G, C, E, A) It sounds very cool. You
have to learn to avoid muddiness, but it has real
possibilities. I will probably start to bring it as a
second guitar to my gigs for a little variety. I can't
believe the rockers don't try this tuning.
You obviously haven't been reading the guitar magazines lately! There
are instruments (baritone guitars) built specifically for this tuning.
