Drop d, and turn up the presence, treble and bass up to ten on my amp to get that dirty job for a cowboy sound 8D
Bb Eb Ab Db Gb. I drop the Bb to Ab here & there too. I have to keep one of the basses tuned standard BEADG so I can get along with most musicians 
I started using a 4 banger tuned CFBbEb as well so all of the bases are covered for me but that first tuning is really it for me.

I like that. Is this a new idea or am I just slow?
I think I could get by without the G string but many times are looking for a lower note with a standard bass.
BEADGC is my usual tuning, but lately i've been very fond of CGCF. i also like my 6 in A-standard sometimes.
its between EADG and DADG. But somewhere down the line I'd like to set up a Precision or Jazz w/ Flats BEAD 
Standard. I know it's probably weird to say that, but I've never been a fan of 5 strings or 6 strings and other tunings.
