Regards, Christian Christian Wendt Hey David, There isn't much to add to what has already been said by many others. The craftsmanship and playability of this instrument is off the charts. It exudes "effortless" playing, incredible tone and versatility. While playing it, there's a constant reminder that these instruments are very special. It doesn't fight you in any way and allows you to concentrate on the music. Quite simply...Thank you! Its an honor to have worked with you on this project and a privilege to own this bass. Best Always, Brian Brian Reihms David, Just wanted to drop a quick line. The Cremona/Aguilar is a wonderful combo, talk about fat, strong, versatile tone. As expected, playability is very comfortable. I couldn't be happier. Thanks again. Take care, Brian Brian Reihms "I ordered my Deep Jazz 6 directly from New York Bass Works (NYBW) and received it early 2001. Its everything I've wanted and more. My inspiration for this bass was the classic mid-70s Jazz Bass. Maple board, ash body, Jazz-style pickups. David Segal (of NYBW) and I used this as a starting point to design an extended-scale 6-string bass of the highest build and sound quality. I told David I didn't want a bass, but a 'hand-piano'! He didn't disappoint. The bass is incredibly comfortable. The action-setup was perfect when I first picked it up, and since then it hasn't budged. My Concert fretless is a simple instrument - just how I like it. Passive. When it comes to sound , this instrument needs no help whatsoever. The sheer amount of deep , tight bass is staggering. This thing barks with authority and is very responsive. Oh yeah, and aside from my 6, it has the most well-defined 'B' I've ever played or heard." Joe Faure - Bassist - New York "For me consistency is the key to the instruments at NYBW. Whether I am recording, playing small clubs , or touring the large halls, the consistency of tone, the accuracy of the neck, and the overall durability of the instrument speak to the superior craftsmanship at NYBW". Gary Foote - Bassist, producer. Blood Sweat & Tears, Apollo Theater house band. "NYBW is AS GOOD AS IT GETS. Dead Serious. David Segal is the most genuine person I have ever worked with in the bass manufacturing world. This is the finest fretless I have ever played. It is like an extension of my most expressive self. The bottom line: Phenomenal tone up and down the neck like I have never had before, and with exceptional playability. It sounds great no matter what I plug it into (within reason). My Deep Jazz 6 has a nice sunburst finish. It has passive J style pickups. Ever hear a 6 string with vintage 60s J tone? It's here. The slap and finger-style tone is phenomenal. Focused but still warm lows, punchy but not overbearing or nasally mids, clean highs. The tone is a dream and is its strongest point. My 6's are very ergonomic and are more comfortable to play than most fivers. They are a joy. Thanks again, David! You have helped me make my music and express myself." Tom Halversen- Bassist- Utah "Excellence is the word I use to describe New York Bass Works. The NYBW bass is hands down the best bass on the planet. I've had my NYBW for almost 4 years and it is the only bass I play for every situation from J.T. Taylor to El DeBarge, Sherry Winston to Marc Cary, and everything in between. This is the most versatile bass you will ever play. David Segal is truly the bass god and the NYBW is the Holy Grail. Dave Jones - bassist- New York "I've been a bass player for over thirty years and it seemed impossible to find the bass that had it all. To me that means tone, depth, presence, character, consistency, balance, comfort, elegance, and of course, it's own voice. That is until I met David Segal of NYBW. Dave is the real deal" "I am proud to say I am the first NYBW customer. Keep up the good work Dave. I always knew you were the best". George Panos - Bassist- New York "I have owned or auditioned just about every bass I could get my hands on. For many years I thought nothing could unseat a good healthy Jazz Bass. Then when I decided that I needed a "B" string, there wasn't a good working instrument to be found at any price. When I met Dave Segal of New York Bass Works, my "less than stellar" opinion of expensive hand made instruments quickly changed. For those looking for a truly world class instrument, you owe it to yourself to try an NYBW. I now own four NYBW's and I have had the opportunity to play several others. Worth every cent. No one comes even remotely close". "These are simply some of the greatest made instruments on the planet ! ! ! Everywhere I play people always ask me what kind of bass I'm playing. They have killer tone, and great action. One the best investments I have ever made". |
