FOUR TUNINGS
One bass neck, four practical setups.
Standard EADG is the reference. Drop D lowers only the fourth string, D standard lowers every string a whole step, and Drop C combines a low C with the upper three strings from D standard.
Notes are shown at the pitch they sound in each tuning. Try the same scale after changing the open strings.
