I forgot that I used to play a song in a different tuning in a band a few years ago. We would start a set with that song, then I'd quickly switch to another bass in standard tuning for the rest of the set to minimize down timeI switched only one time, when the jack failed on my main bass and I had to pull out my backup (both were 1970s Precision Basses). That was about seven years ago.
For my soul band, I never switch basses, partly because I don't want to create dead air. We already have two players who do some switching. That's enough.
