Double Bass Shortening the fingerboard.

Can anyone share personal experience regarding shortening their fingerboard? My fingerboard goes up to about an E and i'm thinking of shortening it to a C. Info such such as how much you shortened it and if you noticed any increase in volume would be very helpful. Thanks.
