"Pasquali" by Ken McKay

Thanks for listening.

The bass is strung with Evah weich's and sounds slightly less edgy with the varnish. I have not strung it with anything else because it seems to like the EPW's just fine.

The player is Josh Allison, a young former student at Interlochen and now at Trinity college. I always enjoy listening to him play. He will be in the market for a nice orchestra bass when he graduates.

The nice thing about my new cornerless is that I have not had to do much of anything since the initial set up after varnish. The bass played well right out of the shoot. In the white when first strung there was a loud wolf on the A but went away with the brass afterlength weight.

I asked about the strings because they were slightly scratchy both before and after varnishing. Belcantos are about the smoothest I have found and Flexocor 92s about the sweetest. Regular Evah's, would be a bit fuller sounding than the Weichs I think.

I saw your bass last Sunday at the Chicago Bass Festival and played it. It is a wonderful bass in every way.
all success,

Thanks Martin, I am glad you were there to see it. I appreciate the great review.

I heard the Chicago Bass Festival was a great success.

I got the chance to play on this bass at Chicago Bass Festival too. I loved it! I'm pretty much crazy about that particular instrument. It is absolutely wonderful!!
