@les24preludes, what’s your instrument (or instruments)? What kind of stuff do you prefer to play?
You obviously have other talents, as well, making your fat handles with a vise and a drill press. Congratulations on all of your accomplishments.

What kind of bass were you playing on in the video? Did you study French or German bow?I'm mostly a double bass player, but I play fairly good keyboards too and do some songwriting. I played bebop for many years, though I'm classically trained. I like working with singers especially songwriters. Here's a very early video of me having a masterclass with Ray Brown. From 16.00

Did you do any orchestral playing in the UK since you’re classically trained?French bow. It was a nice Jaquet which I sold and regretted selling. I replaced it with a 1946 Rubner which I still have.
