Well, the power and low end fundamental of the Storioni borders on painful. My eardrums close up when I play or listen to that bass played within 5-20 feet away. I know someone who recently bought a huge attributed Montagnana Bass. That Bass is known as a powerhouse. He recently played my Bass as mentioned it was similar but with the shoulders sloped he could get around it better and play the 44" length as well.
I would love to play your Bass, anytime any day.
By the way,
my Loveri was just restored by Jeff Bollbach and sounds quite a bit better then before. It is also much prettier to look at as well.
Are the words Gamba and Gumba related at all? I wonder..
