Well an E is still an E, its not lower in pitch because of the thicker
string...it just sounds more MASSIVE with the thicker string, especially
through a reverb tank. :)
Listen to Dick Dale live and hear his low E rumble through a reverb unit and
massively amplified through 2 Dual Showmans! Say what you will about the
lovable old guy, but he's still got the tone!!! At least he hasn't abandoned
that.
