Tuning for a 2 CBG-Bass
I'm new to this (computer's) so hope i am doing this right. I have been a member of CBG for 5-6 months now, and have built several 3 stringers, a 4 string bass, and a uke.This is my first 2 stringer, called Macanudoa 61\4 in x 12 in box. The neck is a south American hardwood that is brown in color until you cut it then it turns firy red with some orange color to it. It is frettrd on a fretboard made from oak, set up with Gittys pick ups and volume, tuning four string setup.I,m not sure about the tuning for these, I went with half flat wound bass guitar strings with A string and D string, those tunings. Are these ok or is there a set rule for 2 stringers. One more question if I can. In the group or husband and wife team called Hyms for Her is she playing a 2 string or a 3, she,s very good no matter. Thanks, MWR
