Ken, What Is Al "The Burner" Using?

[Ronson Hall]

Ken, I am so enjoying Melvin Davis & Al The Burner" Turner's CD's you sent me! I really, really enjoy playing along (or, trying to play along on some of the tunes) with the "It's Good To Have Friends" CD.

Question: I'm guessing that altough Al owns several Smith 5 String basses, he's doing most of the solo work on one of his 6-strings, judging from the ease in which he's reaching hte high notes.

Do you know if this is the case?
