| | | | Was this played in the Met?
I think Tim Cobb was telling me about this bass a couple of years ago.
If it's the same one? He called it a "cannon" |

| | | | Sounds like a great bass. Why are you selling? |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jun 2005 Location: New York, NY | | | It is the bass Tim knows. I won my job at the Met on this bass as did Lou Kosma. It is a great bass. I upgraded to a big Italian and hate to see this bass sit in a corner not being played as much as it should. That's really the only reason I'm selling it. I hope that helps! |
