this is just beautiful.....possibly the best bass player ever.......my opinon.....and man whoevers on the keys is killin iT!!!! think ive said this before.....but still
ah! i love that he has his eyes closed, totally in the zone, and just casually reaches up to tune a string without interrupting the melody, his zen state, or his blissful expression.
Actually, what he's playing isn't a piccolo bass. A piccolo bass is just the same as a regular bass except tuned up an octave, which would still be EADG. He's playing a tenor bass, tuned ADGC. So it's just like a regular bass, except with no Low E and a High C added.
Re: Muenchies: What you have described is the way Stanley Clarke names his electric basses (octave up is piccolo, fourth up is tenor), and this is accepted terminology for electric basses. However, Ron Carter has always used the term "piccolo bass" to refer to the instrument he's playing here, which is an acoustic bass tuned up a fourth, ADGC. Buster Williams uses the same term for the same instrument as well.
Im not surprised after all these years his ingenuity and originality hasnt weathered what so ever, hoping ill be able to see him atleast once in my life, long live Contrabass :)

I got to see Ron Carter at The Blue Note in New York city in early to mid 80s. I was enthralled; he was awsome

Stephen Scott is the unsung genius of today's piano world. Get his alb. w/ Ron Carter called Aminah's Dream. Or Rennaisance.
