I suppose what I don't get is bassists that tune down to Eb. I can believe it for tonal purposes, but if you have a five-string you can easily get the Eb mojo without retuning. That said though, I mostly play a four string and if I'm playing in Eb, I go for the lower chord tones in my lines like G and Bb to fatten it up if needed. That and there is my Zoom multi-effect pedal with the octave down mode
