Hopefully i'm soon to be joining a band in need of a bass player :-)
They play low so i'd need to tune to 'B,E,A,D'. I don't have the money to buy a 5 string so i'm considering using a 5 string set of strings without the G string (advice taken from an earlier post from El Pajaro).
This would require widening of the slots of the nut. OK. But i was wondering when/if I change back to E,A,D,G would the nut have to be changed, or could I get away with having wider slots than the strings???
Cheers,,,Richy.
