WHO ELSE BESIDES ME THINKS I'M GAY?
I mean seriously, it sounded "cool" when your like 12, but having a heavy ass sound does'nt mean dropping to C or B or whatever...I guess if you suck and can only play with(or have) one finger it might be understanable... it's all about the almighty F chord!!!

I can think of a few other things that are much gayer, and you're doing them all right now.

is that because you can only play with one finger and one chord?

Well starting an argument with someone thats about a few minutes away from getting banned is a waste of time, so dont let the door hit you on the way out.

I personally dont like going to drop C aswell, but I dont really see how only using one finger goes along with this, My action on the 6 string bass is like butter in standard, its like a wet dream in D standard, but once I get to c The strings are just too loose, and they hit the fingerboard more than Even i like it too, which is saying something. Because I hit the strings pretty damn hard.
Im gonna go with val on this one, I give your membership 3 days tops.

Yea thats almost exactly how I feel about my 6 string, the E is great in standard, better dropped to D but too floppy if its down to C. But its pointless anyways since I have a nice fat B string for those notes.

Well..if you thing that dropped tunning is all about playing one finger chords then you are the greatest fag this site ever seen

i like D standard and drop C. With dropped, you can do cool runs with the notes on the strings further apart... less movement for more tonal change. I almost never use bar chords, but if one will sound good i'll throw it in.
and drop tuning doesnt have a sexual preference. Kill yourself please?

What the fuck is your problem, drop tunings are a tool for all musicians, not just you. So just don't use them if you don't like them, don't bash other players using methods you don't. It's that easy.

A person's tunning has no indication of their playing ability. Baring 2-3 strings is just as easy as the simple powerchord (and its the same thing anyways) so shut up. Changing finger positions isn't gay - for some playing it is much more effective. It just so happens that a lot of nu-metal bands have adapted the tunning but people like you some how make the connection that a terrible band ruins the tunning.
