Hey Peter, very nice :thumb-up: looks awesome. Interesting, so are all basses where you add an additional top string tuned to C (rather than B as on a guitar) ?

Thanks :bow:
Yes, always B to C.
The shift to the high string as a B would make it also logical to tune the G to an F#, but tha makes no sense as you would never play open string or barre chords on a bass (which is the purpose of G to B shift, from natural fourths, on a guitar).

I must say very nice build you did here.
