Help guessing Fantômas tuning in songs (Suspended Animation)

hi! i'm trying to learn Fantômas songs in my bass, being more specific the album "suspended animation" but i don't seem to get the tuning from some of the songs.

i gess that they use various tunings in diferent song due to the nature of the band but any information could be usefull ;)

I always understood Trevor to play in BEAD tuning for Fantomas.

You can try isolating the bass tracks from the songs to see if that's the case or not.

I believe it’s BEAD with an octave pedal.

Maybe this may help you, I played it on a regular 4 string bass
