No shame in latching (and I wish I had my old Hachez exension with locks while playing it) but one does need to be able to play it without. The style in that passage is somewhat short so the shift is not a problem. The only real problem is consistancy of pitch, which takes some work.

Well, even without the low note shifts, pitch does not come so easy..

To quote Ed Barker, "as a bass player, your consistancy of pitch is equal to your standard of living"
