Double Bass double bass tuning battle

[bigmatteo]

Hi Bassists,
in this video you can listen to, the difference of this type of tuning: 5ths, 4ths and solo.
The bass is the same, fitted with Pirastro Obligato in fifths.



Happy new year!

Matteo from Milan!

Whaaatttt???
At 0:36, the open G string sounds, but the video shows the finger plucking the "D" string...NOT the G string.
At 0:47, the "Solo Tuning" is sounding "F#, A, E, A". NOT your typical "Solo Tuning", which would be "F#, B, E, A" in Fourths... OR, "D, A, E, B" in Fifths- IF such a "Solo/In Fifths" tuning exists.
More Confusing than Helpful.
IMFO, of course.
Am I being trolled???
Grazie!

Ummm, I don't think that counts as a battle. It's just plucked open strings.

That's OK, hunh?

(I've been extra cautious ever since I got my first warning.)

Hi don kasper,
this is a demonstration the capability of db tuned in fifths, that can play fourths and solo fourths,
not merely open string plugging.
fifths have not solo tuning because it don't need !
