Seth Kimmel Cornerless Bass
I just got home from a tour that included some stops in the Pacific Northwest. While I was in Eugene, OR, I had the chance to visit with Seth Kimmel and to play one his recent basses. It's a cornerless model with a removable neck (I'll post a picture later). The bass is beautiful and sounds great pizz and under the bow, it's also one of the best-playing basses I have come across. Seth is a unique guy and his character is reflected in the bass. There is a heart-shaped opening on the e-string side to make it easier to carry the bass, along with two heart-shaped sound ports on the upper shoulder and few other tiny hearts inlaid on the scroll and back in contrasting wood. This bass really impressed me and was a lot of fun to spend some time with.
