To drop the tuning on a 5-string bass, you need to loosen the strings to lower their pitch. This can be done by turning the tuning pegs counterclockwise until the desired tuning is reached. Make sure to tune each string evenly to maintain proper tension and avoid damage to the instrument.

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 is the tuning for drop b?

BF#BC Note that unless you have a long or special scale bass I wouldn't recommend this for a four string. On a five string it would be something like: BF#BCA and even in that case the last four strings are higher than a normally tuned bass which could make them break. I would recommend some sort of special drop tune capo as opposed to actually tuning a bass this way. Or if you need the scale... tune to AEADG or AEAD and capo at the second fret.
