I recently heard this performed on Cello on Winthrop University campus. I never thought this would be possible on bass, or if attempted could not sound as clear, yet BETTER than it does on a cello. Bravo, You are an amazing musician, and certainly have made what im sure is only one of thousands of new follower. As a high school bassist, i can only hope to be this good one day, or even a fraction of it. =D

Amazing man, your sound is simply perfect...i have watched several times and keep impressing myself. How is your bass tuned man? Thanks

I ONLY use normal tuning, solo or orchestra; in this case it's in solo tuning

because of the different tuning of the bass vs. the cello, it makes certain arpeggiated passages more difficult on bass than cello, I imagine. But you tackle them like the tuning was the same. THAT is the mark of a genius!

indeed, some passages are more difficult because of the tuning, but the beauty of the music helps in transcending any technical challenges; thanks for your kind comment!

Apart from your astonishing playing, you seem to be very generous - so here's an invitation: I have just made a double bass for almost nothing out of totally inferior materials. It sounds quite good to my untrained ear. If you are ever in Wellington, New Zealand I invite you to play it
