Low to high: E G C G C E
You can also tune the lowest and highest strings down to C, but you'll lose a lot of intonation.

You'll have to tune the lowest string to C, if you want to get that sound like on Black Sabbath Volume 4.

yes, but how much of it was tuning and how much of it is from the gear used?

Low to high: E G C G C E
You can also tune the lowest and highest strings down to C, but you'll lose a lot of intonation.

alternatively (top to bottom):

C G E G C E

the intonation problem alluded to above can be remedied by using heavier gauges of strings.

the 'intonation problem' is also solved by sticking to low notes
