Lightbulb DB talk in general..

This Forum just went online late last night way past my bedtime..lol

I am on my way to a Symphony concert and back home for my amp and shirt change for a Jazz gig. Double header today so It will be hard for me to get back here today. All the Forums are open now so enjoy & Post away...

My double bass is a plywood, but I've spent years tweaking it and I reckon it'd give any wooden bass a run for its money! I've got some recordings that I'll try and post some time... not very good with computers.

Nothing at all wrong with ply. Last week I made a short trip out to Bob Branstetter's place and spent a few minutes with his restored Kays. There are barely words to describe the playability and tone of those basses.

Thanks for that Greg.
My ply doesn't sound too bad next to my brother's 100+ year old French bass, though obviously not as good!
