i think if you compare pic 3 and 4 the age of the bass looks very different. it really depends on the picture how old you estimate the bass

I hardly heard him when he said what it was. He said he has taken it to almost every top luthier in the world, and they said it was ____ (fill in the blank)

I do not think that 3rd bass pictured is the same one however.

But 1,2 and 4 look just as I saw it in concert.


He says he does not have very many basses, as you would think. 3 IIRC.

Brandon, I believe that all 4 photos are of the same instrument; the lighting and the angle of the photo make shot number 3 look a bit different than the others.

Yea after looking closer it is the same, just the lighting makes the wood look cleaner than it is.

I have played the bass personally when edgar came to Las Vegas and played with the UNLV symphony orchestra ... I got to play his bass while he went into the hall for a little soundcheck .... It is an amazing instrument. The bass used to belong to Sam Hollingsworth, former principal bass with the Pittsburgh Symphony. I am pretty sure there was a label inside. Its been awhile. The best people to ask would be Barrie Kolstein & Aaron Robertson, they know that bass inside and out.
