[b]Also, when transcribing for a de-tuned instrument, the notes/key should be written as played, not as sounded. i.e. the score should have been written in C so you could still read it on a transposed instrument. (If you de-tuned your bass and read the notes, your first note would be a Bb[/b])[/quote]
When a bass guitar is in different tuning, it's still in concert pitch! You're merely changing the note that is produced with an open string, not what key the instrument is in.
Tabs, would change, for sure, but there would be no diffrence in the way a score was written surely?
EDIT: Have now read what you were referring to - essentially we were saying the same thing! Sorry......
