It's 60% because chords make more sense to me like this - they're built more like classical harmony is - 20% because the low end helps me sing in more comfortable keys, 10% because it's weird and I like weird, and 10% because 4 fingers 4 strings just makes sense to me.

It's a 30" scale length bass, and I'm using a combination of Baritone guitar strings and fender Bass VI strings.

I'll try to post a clip or something today. In the meantime, I also have an acoustic guitar tuned like a cello (CGda), and I have recorded it - link to the tune here
