here is the reply you wanted

double bass is a more difficult instrument to play proficiently than electric or acoustic guitar
My main bass. Mainly prog/rock metal player, but branching out. I play my fretless in a local bigband too.

Listen to any Thundercat song. There's a reason OP put him here. Also "appreciation" thread.
What gauge strings should I get if I'm dropping my E to a C? Or what brand I guess.

Mark King can drop to a C# on 30-90 so a 95 on the E string should be perfect.

No way near dude. He is good, he definitely has chops, but I can play most of his stuff which rules him out because there is a lot of music I can't play.
Also, there are some live performances on youtube where he does not play all the faster parts, it's like he wrote a different/easier part for live because he couldnt nail them consistently.
