I don't play bass guitar and my music theory-fu leaves a lot to be
desired, but I am attempting to transcribe from an existing score that
shows a tablature staff explicitly saying that it uses EAGD tuning.
After poking around a bit, I found that the mandolin uses the same
tuning (? I don't play any stringed instruments. So maybe that's not
right.)
When I attempt to change:
\new TabStaff \with { stringTunings = #bass-tuning } \riff
to:
\new TabStaff \with { stringTunings = #mandolin-tuning } \riff
the TabStaff goes blank.
The 2.25 documentation page suggests it should work, there is no
corresponding 2.24 documentation page, yet there is no indication that
there was a change in this area between 2.24 and 2.25 in the changes
documentation.

Here's what I came up with as an MWE:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.24.2"
riff = \relative {
\clef "bass_8" % I assume from examples that's right.
c,4 d e f
}
\score {
\new Staff
<<
\new Voice \with { \omit StringNumber } \riff
\new TabStaff \with { stringTunings = #mandolin-tuning } \riff
>>
}
