    He is an amazing bass player...Somewhere( I think enjoneer may have it) is a recording Stan sent after he got his Bongo (and you lefties, HE is the reason leftie Bongos are available). The recording was just awesome....He is playing, and giving comentary as it goes on, and all of a sudden he stops, and says "but why did you call it a Bongo" and then continues to play the crap out of that Bongo.


    Good stuff.

    I want to be able to hear the last few seconds of his playing. He says he's setting up his signature sound and it looks like he's going mad on the bass, but there's no sound.

    Still, what a great player. Talk about inspiration.

    watching that guy's fretting hand was giving me a serious headache!
    normally i see a guy play and I can tell what's going on just by watching, but the whole upside down lefty thang seriously messes with my head!

    Must be the fast way to go with a lefty. Keith Horne plays his strung that way too and he is also another one of those monster players.

    Does his bass have the standard compensated nut? Is there a different nut for left handed instruments?
