Of course it's significance would probably be lost on non-Jazz folks........

I got this link from a first call session player in Nashville. He's friend of mine and I have no doubt that this is a legit bass.
Do you have any proof of your above statement? |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jan 2006 Location: Brookfield, CT | | | Yeah, appears legit. Seller seems connected and ready to provide a bit more proof of provenance.
Neat stuff. Can't afford it.

| | | | Closer to half of the asking price is more like what it'll most likely sell for, if they don't just give up the selling idea and just keep it. |

Just kidding, really. But seriously, a price like that for a musicians bass? For something that would probably be stuck in a climate controlled case next to a humidor. Conspicuous consumerism, really.

How would owning something like that make me more accepted at a rehersal? A bass is a bass 100dollars or 50,000dollars if you can't play, you can't play. If I had the CASH and it was worth it, showing up with that would not make a bit of difference to my fellow bandmates because they already know I'm rich as **** and they wouldn't even notice.
Now, on the other hand IF it was worth it and I did have that kind of cash, that unit would be on display in my library amongst the paintings costing hundreds of thousands....and not jamming with it. |

Reality check: When you walk into a professional audition you are judged by 2 things when you walk in. 1) How you look. 2) Your gear. Don't be naive. |

On an unrelated note, I think it'd be interesting if the distant future legendary instruments like this were loaned out to prominent bassists in the same way that Stradivarius violins are today.

But I could buy 10 Sadowsky NYC for that.
Zero interest for me.

Don't be naive. | it has been many years since I had an audition for a new band where I didn't know at least one of the members, I just joined up with a band 3 months ago and still had to go thru the audition process even though I know the singer but ya I didn't get the joke until now. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
