I know for sure they do a lot of drop D stuff. But if memory serves me correctly (15 years?), I believe there are some songs were he is also tuning some of the other strings (A,D,G) to something else too. Maybe (D,G,D,G). I just remember it was more than just drop D and unusual.

We've worked real hard to do this and it's been a blast!
And it has made me a bigger fan of the band because of it.

Of course, I'd love to do a Rush tribute...but this was unexpected in a way and being asked to join was an honor and wanting to do it was a no-brainer as well and has been a real test for me musically. Some of this material is real tough. Not as easy to play as one might think. Face Pollution and Mailman are real musical twisters!
Great bandmates and I'm loving the gigs!

I'm employing four different tunings on two basses.

EADG (1 song)
CGDG (1 song)
BADG (1 song)
(all using my Geddy Lee Jazz Bass)

and for the most part...DGCF (20 + songs) (with my Squier CV Jazz Bass)
