not drop B, but drop Bb, or A#. my strings are 10-52 GHS boomers. I go to drop D no problem, Drop Db is one of my favorite tunings, Drop C is bearable but I think it's getting a little too low, drop B is way too low for my tastes, and really starts sounding bad. but drop Bb?!?! it's insanely muddy sounding, and the strings just kinda flop around with not really much tension on them anymore... it's rediculous!
