Iron Tusk Mastodon Tab (Tuning) Question

[RAZubieta]

Maybe not related to tabs completely but best place for my question (I'm guessing) the majority of the tabs (Bassmasta, Untimate-Guitar, 911 Tabs, etc.) I've seen for this song says it is tuned AGCF. Well on a four string tuning to that low A makes the string darn near unplayble being floppier than (well insert your own metaphor there) So i tuned it an octave up and it just didn't flow at all. Does anyone know what the songs real tuning is? (I'm just guessing a whole step down judging from the other strings but would like some thoughts from you guys as well.)

most likely he just uses very heavy gauge strings.

So your saying the song is tuned in AGCF?

The Tuning is correct.

Try stringing your bass BEAD with a 5 string set and setting it up to suit. That should solve your issue.

Alright, thanks. Didn't think of that hopefully my nut will accomodate the thicker strings too.
