Yes, we talked some. I found him his small Italian Carcassi bass in the early '70's that he used and recorded with. He called and said he wanted a small bass of high quality, I knew where the bass was and sent him there. He had then and still has an old German flatback. I had then a Czech/German round back. We had played together a few times at his apartment just jamming like playing duets, jazz style. He was GOOD.
