The standard tuning for double bass is in fourths with the highest string tuned to G two octaves below middle C (actually an octave and a fourth below middle C to be precise which would be the bottom line on the Bass (or F) clef.

The remaining strings of course would be D, A, and E below this G string.

It is common for orchestral players to extend the length of the low E string with a fingerboard extension to extend down to a C.

In addition, it is not uncommon to find find string basses in orchestra especially in Germany and Austria.

In this case the lowest string is tuned to a B below the low E string or sometimes to the C below.
