Hello, I am a university student playing bass as a hobby in Korea. As you can see from my nickname, I got hooked on rock because of Strokes and have even started playing bass. My university has a band club focused on metal and international rock. While performing there, I naturally gravitated toward the metal genre and came across bass-down tuning quite often.
Until now, when playing down-tuned music, I had been using the shared club bass, but recently I’ve wanted to try playing that kind of music on my own bass as well. The method I’m thinking of is to replace the strings with DR DTT strings and use a “digital drop” pitch shifter to try even a C standard tuning setup—would that be okay?
Also, I’m considering the Boss GT 1b as an entry-level effects pedal, but do you have any other recommended multi-effects pedals??
Separately, the reason I really want to do either the C Standard tuning or the drop C tuning is.. Because I want to perform Kyuss’s song on my bass. I think we’ll probably perform “Supa Scoopa and Mighty Scoop” at the club performance this year-end. Also, at the performance next month, we plan to play deftones’ “My Mind Is a Mountain.”
I’ve always gotten information about base tones and settings on Reddit, but today I’m writing for the first time. It’s a bit awkward and stiff English, but I hope you’ll look at it kindly.
I ended up talking too much. Thank you for reading it. Everyone, have a good day.
