Detuning in pursuit of more flop

Over the course of the last week I've been slowly detuning my bass by a half step at a time. Right now I'm in C standard and I feel like it's at the edge of a muddy abyss, but then I felt that way about Db as well.
I think I caught the bug when I switched from Chromes to TI Flats -- that low tension was very attractive. Now I'm detuning the floppiest flats in the land because I just cannot get enough flop!
I love the way they respond to my touch, how easy they are to fret, how I can dig in a bit when I play up over the neck and make them slap down against the fingerboard, and how I have some new deeper note options available to me. The hardest part has been changing where the notes are located on the fretboard, but I'm up for that challenge. Keeps me sharp!
Anyway I just thought I'd share my experience because it has been quite a good one that was just a turn of the tuning key away. Any love for the flop around here?

 

I've always had this ideal bass sound/feel in my head - something like an upright bass strapped like a bass guitar, with big floppy rubber bands for the strings.

I've never recorded my solo playing, but I've got the means. Maybe I'll whip something up once I settle on a bridge height.

 

Last night I dropped it down to B, and though I may be able to go lower, I think this is where I'll stop. The adjustment feels a lot less weird when I'm down tuned by a perfect fifth instead of b5.

 

Yeah, E to B on TI Flats. I'm pleasantly surprised they're usable at such insanely low tension.

 

I tried detuning to A, and that was the absolute minimum tension I could use: Ab was too loose to fret a note and not have it bend sharp (my technique isn't good enough for Ab). I really liked the feeling of A, but those notes were way too deep to expect my rig to reproduce at any kind of volume, and they were pretty rough on my headphones too.

So B standard it is.

I realized it's probably not as much a revelation in sound as it is in feel, so maybe a video isn't going to be too interesting. I can see someone listening to it and going "meh, it's a down tuned bass"
