Change tunings Lower than B?

[Capt_Handbanana]

Just picked this up today but it seems the lowest I can go is B? is there a way to drop tune for metal?

The 5-string versions of the basses currently go down to B. There is a feature request logged for lower tunings than that. Thank you.

Hi,

Any news on getting updates for this? I've been wondering if I should buy the Modo bass, but my band tunes to G#-Drop, so Low B is a no go for me.

There will be an update to MODO BASS coming soon, and the details of any additional tunings and such will be available at that time. Thanks for your patience!

Still missing the half step to get down to G# Will the A be the lowest it'll go?

Just bought MODO BASS, and while I'm loving the amazing innovations, flexibility, and sound quality (thank you!), drop A is not enough for modern metal needs. I came across a Gearslutz post where someone mentioned Dingwalls typically being tuned down as far as C0, and they didn't understand why MODO BASS only goes to A0, especially for a physically modeled product that already has unbelievable customizability and options not typically found in the real world. I unfortunately have to agree. Is there any news on if/when we will see lower tunings?

Thank you.

Of course there's the familiar BEADG and EADGC tunings, and I've seen some people use DEADG before so they don't have to detune for a drop D (basically using it as a 4-string otherwise). One that I've had fun with some times is DEADA or BDADA, which makes octave riffs dead simple (pardon the pun).

A0, yo.

Its 2022, purchased MODO Bass 2 and I still don't see a way to be able to tune lower than A0. I play in drop F and I feel like for the price point it's not unreasonable to expect tuning, especially with 5 and 6 string models, to go that low. Mainstream modern metal acts regularly surpass the A0 mark. Any word on this alleged update?

I also just purchased MODO Bass, (Metal Bass, the Dingwall) and not sure how to go about, or if the feature is supported. I'm also running G#, and would really like to use G#. Maybe I should have gotten Eurobass
