Since it was asked, I did get the strings from Circle K. Great company.

The band will be tuning an octave below B standard. Pretty insane and weird. Yes it's impractical. Yes dthe strings are gigantic. Yes there's plenty to consider in amping and setup to make those low notes as audible as possible. It'll be a lot of trial and error starting out for me to try to get the most of this crazy tuning. It's an existing, established band so I'm just adapting to how they do things. It's out of my comfort zone, which makes it exciting. Kinda throwing the rule book away on this one.

Jesus Christ, you guys are lower than Floor's bomb string.

I'm not gonna go there and try to compare myself to Floor - but I suppose it falls into the same realm of forehead-slappery as the bomb note.

I guess the main difference is we're trying to nail down an audible note, whereas I think Floor just dropped that string down well outside of audible tuning.

The thing being

Lower = Slower

unless you slow the music way down, and let notes ring, low notes just sound like abortive whale farts.
