Thanks for the kind words Lucas!

You have good ears. That is indeed an electric upright on the recording. Our bassist, Bob Strickland, generally plays a (gorgeous) acoustic, but it was in the shop when we did that demo. And I stress the word DEMO. :wink: We did the best we could given the limitations of the instrument.

We have originals, they're just not recorded yet. We had to start someplace! :wink: You'll hear originals and classica exotica during our Hukilau sets!

You are welcome! I am loving it so far! Refreshing to hear a band where they are actually using jazz style chords. A person starts to get a little tired of basic chords sometimes.
Yeah, I kind of figured it was an EUB being used. I almost bought one once, (seduced by the ease of transportation) but I am glad Lucky Designs talked me out of it. I started electric and upright bass around the same time (age 12), but only got back into upright in the last 5 years or so. It does make a huge difference, in feel, sound, attitude. It's worth destroying the inside of my little car for!
Hey, you guys are going to be at Hukilau. I think that one of my bands might be too, but I have to check on that. If so, we could go bouncing?
