Tuning for my 2 String CBB

Posted by William Reinhardt on March 9, 2016 at 3:59pm

I finished my 2 String CBBass, and it looks nice and sounds good in my opinion. I put D'Addario Nylon Tape Wound Strings E and A on it. I don't know what tunings to use. Presently, I have the big E string tuned to G. I would like advice on what to tune the A string to; or, for that matter, what to tune both strings to.

We-ll...you could tune the big E string to...E...and the next string to...A.

Then your bass would be usable in ANY guitar band.

Now that's something I would love to also build are there any videos or instructions on how to build one.
