Sound/vid clips of the bass' sound
 

Here are a couple of clips from a little Early-Music chamber thing last week, doing some old Christmas Songs.

I am not proud of my sloppy hobbyist chops, but you can still hear the bass' full bottom end, pretty easily. An added, slightly bizarre bonus (?) is the bass/hurdy gurdy duo, at one point :) :confused:.

I was using a no-name loaner bow, but the bass still gave up a decent sound...

I was holding back, because the bass felt loud, with that group. You know, playing over the fingerboard, without a lot of weight. In retrospect, I probably should have just let the bass rip...

Thanks for that sound, and responsiveness, again, to Jed Kriegel:

yes..
 

I saw these. Good playing. Good sound. Nice technique and you look right at home with your bass.

Thanks, but...
 

Hi Ken,

Thank you very much for the kind words. Having met you, seen your shop, and heard you play, the compliment means a lot.

I really dig this bass' willingness to give up a nice E string sound, with no sweat. It just plays so easily...

Here's another little clip, of the kind of down-and-dirty rhythmic bass playing my former teacher used to jokingly call "stump grinding..."

The band drags a touch, but it is still sort of fun and you can hear the bass OK...

On the other hand, where did my hair go? Whenever I see a clip of myself, I get reminded of how bald I really am...:D

Ah well...

Thanks again,
Eric

Sweet playing Eric.

Thank you, Terry. The bass plays easily and responds well.
