Violin bass, custom kit from Pit Bull Guitars. Strung with D’Addario Chromes. Recorded with iPad. The upright is unamplified. The violin bass is amplified to roughly match the volume of the upright, but you are still hearing some of the acoustic sound. I recorded this not as a “shootout”, to prove a point one way or another, but because I know that there are people like me who are interested in being able to catch some of that upright vibe on an instrument that is easier to travel with, and can be left for longer in a hot car. Also cheaper, and more accessible for people who already play bass guitar....
