I didn't see anything about his basses - did I miss something?
The one in this video is impressive, is it the Carcassi?

The Bass looks a bit British or even early French like Pillement Pere especially with those FFs. It sounds like old French as well to my ear. I have only seen maybe 2 real Carcassi basses in person. One was small and one was cut, the model they all copy now, the cut shouldered model. Maybe this is a real un-cut Carcassi? I don't really know. His strings on that bass look like Belcantos!
