I might be completely mistaken but it always seems like Phil uses a different tuning on his bass. Is it just taken down a half step or so? It seems to change from album to album.
I was just working out the bassline last night for on of Thin Lizzy's songs - The Hero or The Madman - for a cover a band I'm in are considering to do. I didn't tune down and seemed to work out OK, although I don't know much of their work (despite being Irish myself!!), but wouldn't surprise me about the down tuning!

Awesome, thanks guys. I'm trying to convince my bandmates that we need to cover Cowboy Song
One of the greatest unknown rock and roll songs ever. I had the pleasure of doing it when it was current and it was a blast. I haven't been able to get anyone to do it since.
yeah, its a half step fine, but its no problem playing them in standard tuning, i regulary play the Lizzy songs i know in standard, but it actually sound a little better tuned down...
