New Breed..
Today I had the pleasure of playing several new and modern Basses over at Arnold Schnitzer's shop in NY. These include a 1978 Pollmann, 2002 Thomas Martin, 2003 Nick Lloyd, one of Arnold's earliest Basses (breaking in nicely), and a 20th century Bass by Oreste Candi. All of these Basses sounded great but the older 'Candi (the only Bass he ever made) was the 'pick' but at least 2x the price of the other Basses mentioned.
Of the New American Basses both Nick and Arnold's Basses sounded great. Afterwards, Arnold, a bassist friend from Philly and myself went into NYC to hear Bill Blossom play Jeff Bollbach's #2 in an 'invitation only' recital. Jeff, Arnold and Nick being friends also seem to make great Basses individually.
