5 string Epi

[Blackbird]

Uwe Berlin...?

Now Jeff Berlin does most (all?) of his work on standard instruments

There are some multitonalqualityplayers out there...



... but in this example is he, Jean Baudin, playing a bass...?



Undoubtedly, this is the work of a virtuoso; a work I truly believe to be an outstanding piece of art, but to me, it is more akin to a keyed instrument, in its percussive fashion... If you watch him playing he is still centred, bassically, and soloing on the upper register, in a classical fashion; on occasion the lower, register is plumbed, but not that often, and not that noticeably... it is an "ensemble" piece played in a "one-man-band" fashion...

I'll ask again... is he playing a bass...?

Visuals of the style... live playing here of Transcend on this at 9:13 but also examples of his style from start, 6:04, 7:38

Amazing talent, but for me, I can only listen to one piece like this before I get bored.  Gimme Dr. Feelgood anytime!!!

He also plays in some really odd band called Nuclear Rabbit...

Congrats, Uwe.  I go to the post office to ship a bass around once a week, I'd be happy to help out.

Thanks, but the North Carolinian is first because he started the thread! Denis, I need your address. You said you were curious about that bass, so now you can quench your curiosity.

We'll tell people that Uwe is starting an agricultural branch, as he now has a bass that will serve as an excellent plow due to neck dive.

It will be Denis' first 5er he says. Could we have a picked a better model to cure him from the multi-string disease once and for all?

No doubt!

[thinks] Hmm... supose that sets Denis off on the slippery slope to sub-bass... How could Uwe live with himself...? [/thinks]

That seems incredibly cheap, worth more on curiosity value alone.

And if NATO's ever short of an aircraft carrier ...
