The American band SUBNOVA* was a two-piece formed in the San Francisco Bay Area during the latter 1990s by Reverend Bill on 5-string Yamaha electric bass and Matrox on a Carlos steel-string. No known recordings of their sessions exist. Luminous Red Nova continues to explore concepts of DIY garage band music.

Uninverted
Okay, enough of the inverted 5th for the time being. I enjoyed the bizarre sounds from the special tuning. However, I found the lower end "D" string was super muddy with my amp/cab setup which limited the range. And also my dexterity-limited range provided for only the simplest of single-note runs or arpeggios.
Alas so I am back to standard tuning for the time being. It makes the most sense for jamming with the fellas and my amplification rig. Here is a preliminary run...
Set List: Yoshime, Knights In White Satin, House of the Rising Sun, Heaven, For the Turnstiles, After Dark, Tangled Up In Blue, Powderfinger, Sweetleaf.
