Re: Looping upright bass?

If I ever would have the nerve to dive into the world of looping, I think it would be with double bass...
( I recently ordered a Fishman Pro-EQ Platinum too, just based on some reviews, no experience with it )
The only double bass looper I saw live, was this belgian guy : http://www.chrismentens.be/
Not sure but I think he used a mic  (he did only 1 short tune solo looping). And I definitely noticed then how disturbing noisy footswitches can be....  ;-) 
Even very noticeable on his CD recording - listen to the "Bass Intro" fragment on his website -> discography -> Drivin'

Anyway, this still keeps the LD double-bass looper count on two!

Well, since Eberhard's not on LD, sounds like there's still only two looping double-bassists on the list.

Sorry to disappoint you guys, but Eberhard Weber has produced at least two records of his solo looping, in addition to the tremendous ensemble work he's produced since the mid 1970s....


 
Hi, Todd.  We might be the only two looping double-bassists here so thought I should speak up!
