About the basses (from his self titled album)

  1. The 4-String Bass is the low end foundation of the music and is the standard bass for popular music.
  2. The Fretless Bass is the same as the 4-String Bass but the metal frets have been removed from the fingerboard so that it's smooth as glass. This gives the bass a "snarly" type of sound.
  3. The Nylon String Fretless Bass combines the fretless fingerboard sound with nylon core strings and piezo pickups. It has a very big and wrm sound.
  4. The Stereo Panning String Bass is the same as the 4-String Bass except that the bridge has individual pickups underneath each string which, with a built in stereo mixer, allows me to pan each string from left to right in the stereo spectrum.
  5. The Piccolo Bass is tuned an octave higher than a regular bass so that it sounds a lot like a guitar.
  6. The Stereo Panning String Piccolo Bass combines the tuning of the Piccolo Bass with the stereo panning feature. It sounds like there are guitars everywhere!
  7. The Nylon String Piccolo Bass combines the Piccolo Bass tuning with nylon strings and sounds a lot like a nylon string guitar.
  8. The Midi Bass has a musical instrument digital interface (MIDI) converter built in that allows me to play my bass through any MIDI keyboard or computer. The possibilities are endless.
  9. The Tenor Bass sounds like a regular bass but is a 4th higher in pitch and has a very punchy sound.
  10. The Stereo Panning String Tenor Bass combines the tuning of the Tenor Bass with the stereo panning feature.
  11. The 4-String Contra Bass is tuned a 4th lower in pitch like the bottom four strings on a 5-string bass for that huge low end sound.
