'Calling' the venerable ARNOLD SCHNITZER...?
Hi Arnold , I'm hoping that you'll come across this thread !! I was reading this article on Eddie Gomez where he mentions a bass that you put together for him that incorporated parts of several instruments.
I was wondering if you could tell us a bit about the instrument ....? Of course it would be understandable if you feel that it's inappropriate to broach the subject on the net ..... I've included the link - http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/arti...?id=36408&pg=2

YO, ADRIAN!!!!!!! (sorry, could not resist)
The bass Eddie mentioned began its current life as two broken Kays and a Czech neck, if I recall correctly. It was fitted with hatpeg tuners and re-varnished a dark eggplant-like color. I used it personally for a few years, then Eddie discovered it at my old shop about 16-17 years ago. He loved the dark tone and fast response. I have congenitally weak wrists, so I had set it up silky low with little tension. It fit Eddie's sound and playing style well, so we made a deal. I'd just like to point out that although Mr. Gomez is known as a jazz great, his arco playing of the solo literature is absolutely stunning.
