Hi Talkbass folks,

I am putting together en episode of Contrabass Conversations featuring Lyric Opera of Chicago bassist Andy Anderson playing recordings of the same bass with different string and tailpiece set-ups. It is pretty interesting--Andy manages to get his bass to sound hugely different using both different strings and by removing the tailpiece and replacing it with wires.

I'll put this out on Sunday, March 11, but you can [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] to listen to Andy's previous interview episodes. He was the guest on episodes 4 and 7.
