LemurMusic It can also be tuned in Fifths (C, G, D, A, E) by using Pirastro Obligato Fifths tuned Double Bass Strings including a High E Solo String. Fifths tuning would've been a good option for the Baroque Era.

You really don't need a C extension at all, instead of paying $1500 for an extension just tune down your E to a C and you have a perfect C with no -1/2 position or -1st I played on a extension bass before thinking that was amazing then found tuning the E down to a C is truly fantastic all around perfect
