6vs7 string c tuning

[bigboy]

So my 7 is set for tomorrow to be here. I went back to drop C with my 6 string.been in drop b an im over that. So now if I tune my 7 string to match my 6 string id do c for the 6 strings on the 7 an what is the low string? A ,G??? I want the 6 string tone an the added 7 low string to Blend in but give me some chunky tones for my brake downs or whatever. Thank you guys

If you want to keep the other six strings in drop C you can tune the B string to G for drop G or A for A standard.

Drop tuning would be F I believe.
I guess that would be G standard if you don't want to drop the seventh.
Standard tunings are less brutal and should be avoided IMO.
That's gonna be a pretty huge string for drop F.
A small price to pay for the sheer brutality that the F will bring.

At the gates,hmmm . I'm home today I'll check out a few songs/bands. That get's me in the mood to jam.ill use my 6 string tell my 7 string comes later. I'm gonna use the stock strings today to get a feel for the new guitar. Ups comes kinda late 5:30-7:30 pm. So I'm gonna wait to Tuesday morning to put on new strings an do a little setup. I figure I'll try A first an go from there. Stock strings I heard is 9-52 so e with a low B is max. That low B is gonna be like a rubber band lol. It's gonna be bouncing under my fingers like crazy I bet.

I was mostly joking. Cannibal Corpse plays in Eb standard. You don't get much more brutal.
