Graham...one thing to note is that the bass was left-handed, but I played it right. It was flipped around, so that the fatter E was on bottom instead of ontop. I couldn't play it lefty, so I had to turn it upside down.
Hey, Graham. If I remember correctly, it was the basic E and A from a pack of bass strings. (The 2 fattest strings from a pack)
I MIGHT have had those two strings tuned down to D and G...It's been awhile since I made the video, so I can't be 100% certain. It would either be D/G or E/A. On the bass, I had to hang out in that area because I'm not normally a bass man.
I hope that helps. Thanks a lot for watching! Hope all is well! O)
Great talking to you yesterday - hope to see you again next year
Thanks for the friend request. Trying to be a player myself.
Thanx again Graham, I'm jus' tryin' to help out those who want to expand their horizons.
Sorry to hear that Graham, hope she's soon better.
Are you going to the Hollowbelly gig at Hyde on Sat Graham? I'll be there, my mate Mark Clough has organised it.
Most of all, have fun!
Tres.
