Alternate tunings

I am trying an alternate tuning on my 10 string bass ... it is a Chris Squire thing ... for the D and G strings I tune the octave to a 5th instead of an octave ... that way with one finger I have a chord ... it is very interesting ...

Check out Michael Manring's website, as he is a major alternate tuning freak.

you can hear the alternate tuning on my 10 string bass here ... http://www.3dentourage.com/425/10string.htm ...

listen to sound byte #3 there are 4 tracks ...
#1 is a drum machine, #2 is the 10 string bass with distortion, #3 is the 10 string bass with chorus, #4 is a simple 5 string bass
