Dual Bass Reciprocalâ„¢
This tuning combines a standard bass 4ths arrangement with a Stick
(inverted bass 5ths) tuning to provide myriad ways to fill the bass
player's role. A 6-string bass tuning covers the first 6 strings,
overlapping onto the 5-string inverted 5ths Stick tuning. Conceptually,
it's a set of 11 strings using only ten, with both sets sharing the
common low B.
