Drop(1)F# is the lowest tuning ive ever used, I probably wasn't set up correctly because there was fret buzz on my end which fortunately didn't come through in the video. Intonation for the low F# was as close as I could get it, the saddle wouldn't move back any further. I missed a few notes at the very end because of my cat.

I guess the buzz is caused by lack of tension. If I tune that low, I release the trussrod a bit to get some relief halfway the neck.

The other strings were doing it not the low F#. The song could technically be done on a four string in C# standard but it may not sound right. It only used the low F# for a few open notes in the outro. The method I use to set my basses up said neck relief was ok. I think the problem may have just been incorrect fretting on my part. Some of the spans your hand has to cover are a little much for my three fingers. People who have met Orion (Behemoth's bassist) say he has big hands so for him riffs like this are probably nothing.
