There's a lot of variability among classical guitarists, bass guitarists and their techniques. Ignoring that and painting with a broad brush, here are some things that I've found, in my personal...

Not sure if this is a "genuine Argentinian tango bassist" -- but I like her performance!

Minus the title, that's some impressive playing. I like the artificial pizz harmonics at the end.

I wound up buying a satin-finished 4-string Breedlove Atlas Solo for practice. It has a big, open sound in its lowest range and impressive acoustic volume. I think the lack of a hard poly finish on...

I'll echo the "preparation" advice.

I'll add one more: learn and practice material that's way above the skill level of what you'll be playing onstage. If you push yourself in private, you'll have...

Play closer to the bridge, use the bridge pickup and boost your mids. If you're "scooping" your EQ, the harmonics will disappear.

There's no big secret to how it works. You can look up the published patent yourself -- though if you use the method, you'll technically owe Mr. Feiten a licensing fee.

The first thought I had was "too bulky." The second thought was, "that's it?"

I'm disappointed that there's no special twist here - e.g. a reflective color LCD screen. It's just a re-mix of all...

Fender should just take Beck's name off and rebrand it as an "ultra PJ" or "vintage (heavily) modified" some such. I think it'll sell if it gets some visibility.

If you play out with image conscious people, yes. Look at how many bass wanted ads knock out 5+ stringers.

+1. Mythology aside, l'd like to see some actual numbers that demonstrate that drug abuse is more frequent among "creative" types.

Japanese Aerodyne. Best playing bass I've owed, though the string-to-string response on the J pickup was never even enough for performance (small radius neck).

This one isn't for you then. The Miller is very bright, much brighter sounding than the usual midrangy Jazz tone. (IMO, I think this is due to the heavy ash body.)

If cost isn't a factor, I think the Acoustic Image 2-channel Contra and Coda amps should work OK for your purposes.

I vote yay. It's the cheapest 88-key piano with weighted action out there. At that price it's almost an impulse purchase.
