It is not bad for the neck if you drop d tune your instrument, as long as you do it right. You would normally use a heavier gauge string for the drop d so it won't be all loose and floppy and keeps the same amount of tension on the neck. If you have a floating locking system then you may have to adjust the spring tension on the bridge. If the neck appears to be bent then it can be adjusted by turning the truss rod in the neck. You may also have to adjust the bridge seating so the strings are at the right pitch. Its alot easier to do on a fixed bridge guitar, and easier to pay a professional to do it. But if you are confident I recommend trying, there is only one way to learn!

What drop B tuning is on the guitar?
Drop B means that the guitar has been detuned from standard tuning (E-A-D-G-B-e) to a lower pitch tuning where the bass string is now a B rather than an E, resulting in a tuning of B-F♯-B-E-G♯-C♯. It is unusual for standard 6 string guitars to be tuned in this manner because the lower you tune a guitar, the thicker the strings need to be in order to maintain a sufficient level of string tension (hence why bass guitars have very thick strings). Drop B tuning may be found on a baritone guitar or a 6-string bass such as the Fender Bass VI.

What would I need to do to convert an electric guitar to an electric bass with out buying all new set-ups?
Just buy a new guitar, but if you insist....1. buy bass pickups, and make sure they fit.2. buy a new head/neck with a 4 spaced nut, and four tuners.3. buy a new bridge, one with 4 string pass ways.all this for about 150 dollars, which is enough for a bassA:It is impossible. Bass guitars have lower frequencies and the strings are spaced farther apart, thus requiring a larger pickup. The length of neck affects innotation, meaning that a guitar neck would make the bass out of tune. Also, the neck needs to be better supported depending on the number of strings on the new bass. The bridge will need to be replaced as well, along with the nut. The tuner have to different sizes. You're better off just buying a bass guitar.
