    some advice needed from anyone familiar with 4-string instuments.

    a million years ago I picked up a 1938 epiphone guitar at a flea market in connecticut for $20. It's been in my closet since. I'm currently restoring it with the intention of learning to play it. I'm a bass player but I do know enough basic guitar to strum along to your average pop song.

    I understand that there are a number of tunings one can use on a 4-string, and each (apparently) having a unique characteristic. any recommendations from those who play?

    (My initial attraction to the instrument was simply that it was a 4-string. And as a bass player -- 4-string good, more string bad.)
