Sign in to disble this ad
Yet another youtube video. This is the latest that I've been working on. The whole 'solo jazz guitarist' approach, playing chord melodies and such. This bass is perfect for it, and it's my ultimate goal as a musician right now. Still has a long ways to go, but I think this is a good start: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5wN1IX4w7Q
Played on my Kinal 6-String Acoustic Bass. Recorded with a blend of the piezos and a mic'd signal. Gotta find a better way to mic it...keeps getting in the way of my fretting hand there 
Enjoy and let me know what you think

How does that Kinal sound against an acoustic guitar?

It sounds good with an acoustic guitar. I haven't played it live yet, but I should have some acoustic gigs coming up in a month or two. So we'll see

Which you are already - but hey - like me and the rest of us, I'm sure you want to 'improve' still?
