i think you would have to change the nut, because the slots would be to small for the strings, but other than that and a set up i dont see why it would be bad.

hmm

thanks

what about .. without changing the nut .. anyone try and works?

Actually, the slots in the nut would be larger than the strings you would want to use. You would probably still have to change it though.

You can do it without any problem. I did it for years on one of my high end basses, and never changed the nut. Try it without changing before you change it--you probably won't have to.

You'll probably have to tighten the truss rod since you'll be putting more tension on the neck than with the low B string. But, other than that and setting the intonation, you should give it a try.

When I pick up a third Bongo, I'll probably change the tuning on my Black Sapphire fretted 5 to EADGC with TI Flats.

Good advice bassmonkeee!
