A short solo bass improv I did specially for Kevin of Krappy Guitars a week after he delivered my new Twiggy 4 electric upright bass to me. This piece is titled "The Hackettstwon Tourist Trap"
Thanks, it's definitely a whole different playing experience. I've since switched to half-round strings to reduce the "twanginess", it sounds so much better now.
It's actually a flat fingerboard like a regular bass guitar. However, the action is set a little higher so the strings slap against the fingerboard like an upright. However, bowing on this instrument would be impossible.
Nice! I always like upright bass - acoustic or electric.

I can't tell from photos... Is the neck curvy enough to bow on?

Thanks! Nothing more than the bass plugged into an Acoustic B200 head and a 1X12" cab.
