7 String noob...Tunning Help

[selkies24]

I think i saw a similar thread about this same issue. I just got a LTD SC-207. My band plays our songs in Drop C. I wanna play a bit lower but my bassist doesn't wanna tune any strings up. He is tuned in ACGCF. I would prefer a dropped tunning so that i wouldn't have to transpose the songs.

Does ACGCFAD or GCGCFAD work ?

Ive very new to this so i would GREATLY appreciate the support of the sevenstring community.

Im happy to finally sign up to this place

Any tuning can 'work' as long as you can write songs around them.

Well if you tune ACGCFAD you can match his fingerings exactly.

Would I have to transpose or adjust the songs in any way? Would A and C work together like C and G do? If that makes anysense haha. Really appreciate the help guys!

i have my baritone 7 tuned Gcgcfad, it works

I have both my sevens tuned to GCGCfad, there is never a problem tuning the guitar to that as far as tension(once ya have the right strings) or set up(once its set up correctly for the strings and tuning) goes, if that is your question?

tell your bassist to suck it up and tune however you like. after all... he IS the bassist. so make him tune to you!

Why bother even tuning the same as the guitar anyway? Sounds like lazy follow along time if you NEED to.
