- bass players gut
I'm pretty sure he's using a borrowed or rented bass on that video. The bass is a very dark brown but Scott's bass is a light honey/amber. It does look like his bass is currently wearing helicores of some kind with an Oliv G. Wrapped gut, technicality?
I'm just gonna leave this here. I know Jamale Davis was mentioned earlier. This is my first time hearing him, holy crap!
I went to visit Gerold Genssler in Berlin almost a year ago. He mentioned Ben Street, Thomas Morgan and Larry Grenadier using different styles of his gut strings.
I've been under the gut-spell for quite some time now and I have no intention to stop, but it also seems like more and more players here in Sweden (Both jazz and Classical) are turning to guts.
Larry Grenadier rocking the guts, playing some Mingus
My wild guess is that he plays Genssler/Sonores J-Roque guts

i don't know what the Genssler strings look like, but the E and A look like D'Addario to me? here's a good look at them. @ 2:42
Here too, particularly younger jazz players are turning to plain gut G&D.
Damn, that's good stuff.
There's something deeply romantic about playing on gut.

Forgive me for posting a video of myself, but I thought it could be of interest here.
For this session I used my Artone plain gut D and G paired with some old Sonores Corax (Gerold Genssler) on the bottom.

Just wondering does anyone know how John Feeney approaches fingering for that low C string? Must take quite some adjustment to negotiate low note passages from Ab down C all on that one string! I like the idea that it's possible...
What kind of mic / pick up do I see down by the E foot of the bridge? Not a Realist, I think?
Young danish bass player Felix Moseholm. Said he uses Chordas, when I saw him this summer in Copenhagen.
that is a realist I think. Its one of their docking systems you're seeing.
