Thank you Carlo.
I was actually saying to myself that I really should pick up the bass more often. Because my playing has become incredibly sloppy and rusty over the last few years, since I'm not in a band anymore.
Making this little video took me quite a few takes to get it acceptable...  :o

The bass sounds excellent, and the musician is darn good!

Nice!

The back looks like a little 4005.

I see what you mean Ilan. The way the upper horn and the lower horn follow the same curve.


I made a new video by the way. I wasn't very happy with the recording quality of the first one. It has too much distortion in the low end.
I didn't have any proper recording equipment to go into the iMac.
So I bought a Focusrite Scarlett Solo to get a decent signal into the computer.
At least the the sound quality has improved a bit.  :mrgreen:

That does sound much better.

Nothing wrong with your playing.
