The dam string ARE FROM 5 STRING BASS STRINGS BECUASE HE ALSO TUNES TO A IN PSYCHOSOCIAL. Man anyways Paul always tuned to BEAD with heavy strings and that is why even at B with a 4 string it sounded good.

@gunlover19112 thats what ive done with my bass (cause i play slipknot and korn mainly) i just swapped EADG with BEAD

[Ariabasspro]

@cameronj279 That can't be good for the neck of your bass, if the E-string is B and the other ones standard, the tension is going to get uneven along the neck and it might break

[cameronj279]

@Ariabasspro the truss rod was adjusted to sort out that problem incase it arised. i play with a ibanez k5 now :)

[Ariabasspro]

@cameronj279 Ahhh, I understand :) That's a really good bass, I envy you :)

[cameronj279]

@Ariabasspro haha thanks, managed to get the original one as well (the better looking one in my opinion) shame i can't afford some new strings lol

[Ariabasspro]

@cameronj279 Yeah, think so too :) Haha, buy new ones soon, the best thing that exists are to play an awesome bass with new fresh strings on it :)

[cameronj279]

@Ariabasspro yeah i will be once i have new earphones :L, i tried rotosound strings once and they were dead within a week of playing..worst £25 ive ever spent lol

[Ariabasspro]

@cameronj279 Sennheiser earphones and DR or Earnie Ball strings, my personal favourites :)

[cameronj279]

@Ariabasspro sennheiser cx500 are what i used to use...they broke after 2 years of use, bought westone um1's then my cat broke them (chewed through cable) so im going back to sennheiser, and yes...dr black beauties i think im going for

[Ariabasspro]

@cameronj279 Two years is a pretty long time for headphones, my longest lasting headphones was 5 months . Think so too, They're my favourites :) Yeah, those are cool and should fit great (Frosties power!) with your K5 :) Just that the "paint" dissapears after a while :/

[cameronj279]

@Ariabasspro nothing a bit of black sharpie can't solve! 

[MISANTHROPY647]

You'd think with all the money he made he could've afforded some thicker gauge strings so that they didn't sound so twangy.

[16coreprocessor23]

@MISANTHROPY647 dude those strings are 5 string bass strings strung onto a 4 string bass............. i hear no twangyness only the power of his bass and playing.

[MISANTHROPY647]

@16coreprocessor23 First of all, they aren't thick enough to be 5 string bass strings, and even if they were, the tuning would have to be BEAD, not drop B.

[16coreprocessor23]

@MISANTHROPY647 their thick enough and u can tell that they r five string bass strings cuz their not loose enough to be EADG strings........ trust me on that im a bassist. their native tuning would be BEAD but u can tune the stings UP to drop B. :)
