Dropped tunings and fret buzz

[A Fitting Lie]

Alright, so recently my band has dropped our tuning from standard EADG to C#G#C#F# (everything down a half step, and the E dropped another whole step)

I know since I have gone from Super to Regular slinkies (because of the lower tuning) I should get my bass re set up, but would that eliminate the fret buzz on the E string? The other strings have been fine, but the E, being so low gives me a lot of buzz. Would a set up allow me to use this same gague? I was thinking I would have to get a thicker E string to make up for it being so low. Maybe the E from a set of Power slinkies? I'm a fool and any help would be appreciated

We do this sort of thing all the time when Artists call and want a bass tuned c or c#. A proper set up with the thicker gauge strings would be in order.
I'm sure you will get some recommedations here
