<p>I just did- #20 is my first bass, fully fretted 30mm neck, sounds great (60mm deep all-poplar box). Tuned it D-G (1-4) almost by default (used the top two strings in a pack) and it's pretty intuitive for a non-bass-player such as me. There's a lot of chords to be had with very little effort...</p>

Looks like everyone here suggests 1-5. As G-D. However I find melodies better sounding with 5-1. Like D-G (imagine 3rd and 4th string on regular guitar). Sounds clearer and more pleasing to me.<br />
Damn... I just want to build another one!

<p>using up the pack of strings doesn't worry me I'm working from 2 packs, both chuggers could be tuned the same, but a bit of variety is always better.</p>

<p>go with 1-5 tuning if you don't have a specific reason to do differently.</p>
<p>G-D since it matches so well with 'standard' CBG tuning G-D-G</p>
<p>E-B and D-A to use up the other strings in the pack</p>

<p> I would try the root(1) and the 5th. examples : G-D, E-B, D-A, A-E, etc... Then ponder ... the 5th directly above the root or an octave higher ? </p>

<p>Experimenting seems like the best way to find what works best. Had an idea for one; B-A, might work nicely.</p>
