I read somewhere he
gave one to them for free haha
on the matter, you can go as low as you want, any good amp and cab will handle the low tuning as you rely on overtones, not the fundamental. If you ever heard some bass fundamental, even from a 4 string, you'll hear almost nothing, just a very low buzz.
My bass teacher tune to drop F on his Noguera 5 strings, his band is into low tunesque fusion/metal. It works perfectly fine with his Ampeg rig
