[@robinpettersson2365]

Would it be possible tuning this bass in drop G, or would it be more floppy than what's good?

[@RufusMann]

@@robinpettersson2365 hm... Technically you can tune it into anything as long as the nut is slotted properly and it has the right string gauge

[@robinpettersson2365]

Yeah, but do you need to set up the bass a lot or would it work with the current set up on the bass?

[@RufusMann]

@@robinpettersson2365 I'd consider it alot because I would find a luthier to file the nut for me to for the bigger gauge string for the low G

[@robinpettersson2365]

👍 I guess it would not be a problem to play in drop G with the five strings!? I haven't actually played any Dingwall, but I'm starting to consider buying one 😬 My band plays most of the songs in A# but some of the songs we play in drop G or G standard. And I think a five string Dingwall would do the job 🤘😄

lavrovmd are u the bass player for slipknot??? Didnt think so. Sometimes when u play by ear certain notes sound the same as how they r originnally played therefor it still works cuz it sounds identical let the guy play his cover how he plays it

@@RufusMann South Africa is very South XD Problem is with shipping is that it will end up costing a fortune, especially with the weight of the instrument. Much easier to get from a local shop, but not easy to get the shops to get stock of such a specific brand.
