@Morkai

half my set list every night

You have a set list that is half drop tuned to C? You want a 5 or (better IMO) go BEAD. Your 604 will BEAD just fine as well.

Just down to B, any 5 string will fix that. Don’t need a variscale.

@Morkai - this is a tone comparison for a BB734A in BEAD vs an Attitude 3 in EADG downshifted to BEAD.

It’s also going through a bit of Darkglass there (as will be obvious in the tone), plus the Attitude is downshifted in a Helix. Both sound awesome to me and represent viable options for you.

BEAD is awesome. Both are good options rather than going with a 5-string, if you don’t like 5’s (I don’t).

YAMAHA BB734A vs ATTITUDE LTD 3 METAL TONE TEST - BEAD-tuned bass VS. Pitched down EADG-tuned bass

@Whying_Dutchman - the Attitude is the bass the DiMarzio Relentless P-pickup came from, Billy Sheehan worked with Yamaha and DiMarzio on these for years. This current model has a DiMarzio WillPower instead of the Relentless.
