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.
