Welcome Carlos - so you're another New Standard convert, eh?
I regularly play Latin Jazz (see sig. below) and am in the market for a pro-quality bass at under $10,000, so thanks for the NS recommendation. They are high on my list, although I don't know anyone local that I can persuade to let me try one. I'm leaning towards the La Scala at present, as I also play a fair bit of straight ahead Jazz.
Be sure to post where you are playing to this list, and if you're ever in Los Angeles I'll come see you play.
Hey guys, whats up? My name is Carlos Henriquez, and I just got my New Standard last week and took it out on the road with Wynton Marsalis. I have to say that the sound coming out the bass is unbelievable. I had the time to hook up with Arnold while we were setting up the bass, and he told me that I was going to be very happy on the first gig, HE WAS RIGHT ON IT!!!!!!! If you ever need a travel bass, I recommend the Plywood model of the New Standards. They hold up to any condition you face it with. My setup is all natural- Gut G=43 D=52 A=50 E=GOTZ STRING. NO DIRECT PICKUP ON BASS, JUST A GREAT RECORDING MIC OR RIBBON MIC. IF THE VENUE IS LARGE THERES A MONITER ON STAGE FOR ME AND THE DRUMS.....
After seeing it, I made some inquiries about you on this forum, and proceeded to spell your last name w/o the 'H'. oops...my apologies.
