Me too. Bottom C is always reliable and Bb sometimes. Lovely to sing relaxed down there. However I have been taking singing lessons recently and am pushing upwards. In ensemble I have a top G and in solo work an F. (Haydn St Nicholas mass has a low Eb and then 2 bars later a top G for the undivided basses (!))
