@1993danielr, too kind! thanks a lot. Kind of junky take when I listen back, LOL, but glad you liked it. Arrangement and PDF on my blog.

why do you have 6 strings if you dont use the the bottom b string. just get a 5 string and tune it e a d g c

[bentorrey]

I'm tuned E A D G C F actually. The F is a wound .022 that you can get from Conklin made by SIT.

I do play 5 with a high C most of the time.

I always found the 34" B string to not work much, but I didn't switch to E-F tuning until I found the wound .022 F string.

Aww, no trills besides the ending. :) BTW, just a small correction to the info text, it's from BWV 996, not 896.

[bentorrey]

thanks Pupukissa, I gotta stop calling those off the top of my head...I think my memory's not so great. 996 huh, thanks.

It sounds really well for bass!!!

[malignantpoodle]

I love all these people here talking shit about a 6 string having never touched one themselves.

Great execution, sounds good. I love this song and your performance, which doesn't come easy.

[JohnPatatino]

nice

A 6 string bass, cool. Surprisingly I have never see none before until now. Still very awesome cover.

[beatlesmack9]

I suppose thats a neat trick, I guess.
