not bad, although it would be hard for beginners to read this kind of tab but it all works out and sounds just like it and also this is proboly the first bass tab for almost easy that is actually in the right tunning (that I've seen so far), so good job

it might be good when you put a relatively obscure tuning like dropped C# to say what this is, because beginners might not know what that means,
