Hi, Geoff, The next video in this play list (and the last one) is marked as "private" and won't play (obviously). Thank you for great lessons, I have one semi-unrelated question though: I like your bass, can you tell what it is? Size, make and other bass geek stuff, all these questions burn me :) Is it really black or just very dark?

[@DiscoverDoubleBass]

I think that's because I took them down and re-uploaded them, but forgot to remove them from the playlists. Thanks for the heads up I will look into that. My bass is actually made up of a few parts. The back/sides and scroll are a 100 year old German bass, but it has a modern front, about 10 years old. It's been over varnished to match up the new wood with the old wood. Its also got a new neck so the set up is really good. I use Evah Pirazzi weich strings which seem to suit it well. It's 3/4 size. Cheers Geoff
