[@wilhelmtheconquerer6214]

Well, it's practical live to use the same tuning for all songs. In optimal case every "main guitar/bass", if you will, has a backup in case of it going out of tune, a string breaking or the electronics getting damaged. More tunings means more backups, so 2 tunings would mean at least 4 instruments per player, so the numbers ads up pretty quickly
