    Tuning machines (with spiral metal worm gears) are mounted on the back of the headstock on the bass guitar neck. The standard design for the electric bass guitar has four strings, tuned E, A, D and G, in fourths such that the open highest string, G, is an eleventh (an octave and a fourth) below middle C, making the tuning of all four strings the same as that of the double bass (E 1 –A 1 –D ...

    A tuning is a sequence of pitches to which the strings are tuned. A stringing is a set of string gauges (and very occasionally other string parameters) that support one or more tunings. Just as many stringings support more than one tuning, so for many tunings there is more than one common stringing.

All-fourths tuning is traditionally used for the bass guitar; [5] it is also used for the bajo sexto. [8] Allan Holdsworth stated that if he were to learn the guitar again he would tune it in all-fourths. [9] [10]

    In this tuning, the double bass is tuned like a cello but an octave lower (C-G-D-A low to high). Although fifths tuning was once the most common double bass tuning in France in the 19th century, [ 1 ] standard fourths tuning (E-A-D-G) has since become the most used tuning for the instrument.

    Left-handed guitarists may use the chord charts from one class of regular tunings for its left-handed tuning; for example, the chord charts for all-fifths tuning may be used for guitars strung with left-handed all-fourths tuning. The class of regular tunings has been named and described by Professor William Sethares.
