If they insist on dropping that low, then they have no concept of how the BAND sounds. Have them listen to some Black Sabbath and if they can't see the difference then maybe it's time to find another band.

Beat me to it. Lol Can't stand Fieldy's "tone." Now he has an autobiographical book, and according to the description, he's a "legendary bassist."
Sorry... That was snarky, wasn't it? Lol

Are you suggesting that having a tonal range that is either an indistinguishable low drone or an indistinguishable klanky sound doesn't constitute a good tone.Beat me to it.

Fieldy could could put Wooten to shame, but with his terrible tone who'd ever know?
I feel your pain. Leave the band and find someone to play with who has the wit to understand that swapping strings and detuning lower and lower does not equate to nor serve as a substitute for musicianship and creativity.
Do it.
That would be the coolest sounding thing that I've heard in a while. If the guitards didn't complain.
Some guitarists are just that. I suggest you try to cut through in the midrange area. That's what alot of bass player in the heavier metal genres do.
I have a 6-er strung F# B E A D G.
