I've never seen a bass like that. Wouldn't you want more sloping shoulders for a better sound in the higher register?

[punkypenguin321]

@thomasjackson46 the figure of the bass doesn't have much bearing on the sound projection. Though shoulders that squared off would be very hard to get around. Less comfortable for sure/

Awesome playing. Is that a Heinrich Gill Panormo bass? I've got the same one!

I play double bass and this is the next solo i'll be learning. This playing was incredible. Thanks for the inspiration ;)

Приятное произведение! Это я как контрабасист говорю.

Waldir, I just came back from seeing/hearing you play at the Arizona Opera. OUTSTANDING work!!! I've never seen anyone play the bass with such passion. Are you performing anywhere else in Tucson? You were AWESOME.

Very, very nice. Is that the Zdzislaw Prochownik bow from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada? The bass you were lent at Indiana University ISB Convention looks wonderful and sounds great.
