Double Bass Ibanez EUB Live Band Clip

I took my Ibanez UB804 to a weekly jam gig last week. Each week we host a different special guest - drummer and I are the two constants.

Typical jam format - we play a set with the special guest, his song choice, then open up the jam. This clip came from early in the special guest set.

Short, 34" scale was a challenge at first - my favorite plucking position for closer-to-upright tone on this EUB is higher up and doesn't allow arm stretch and easy DB plucking hand positioning; It's all kind of a compromise, though I'm adjusted and enjoying playing it.

Signal chain is EUB > Aguilar Tone Hammer 500 > Mark Bass 210 cab.
