Songs where the guitar and bass are tuned differently

I’ve always been a fan of this song and recently I came across a tab of it. I was quite surprised to see the bass was in D while the guitar was in E. I didn’t believe it so I tuned my guitar to Drop D and lo and behold, the tab is actually correct. I even demuxed my track and isolated the bass to play along.

Now I’m obsessed. Are there any other songs where the guitar and bass are set to totally different notes but they play in the same key so everything works out?

Legend of the Bitch Queen! What a great tune.

Almost all of Kigan by Dir en grey is rife with alternative tunings, from guitar to bass. Gyakujoutannou Keloid Milk comes to mind. Guitars in Drop C, and Bass in B. Zomboid too: open B, bass in C. :woman_shrugging::woman_shrugging:

Someone more knowledgeable about this album’s production should chime in though. I may be wrong altogether, though I’m pretty sure that I saw those in the score books.
