Some more impressions from Jazzahead. It was great being there with The Bace because the instrument is right up the event’s target group’s alley. Thanks for all the positive feedback, huys & gals!

This Bace is a prototype for a travel instrument - it fits in a regular cello case! I've brought on a couple plane trips, played it on several concerts, and already got several bassists interested in the concept. In fact, one of them bought it right off me at the gig! So what's different? The body is a 3/4 size cello body, the scale is 30", the neck joint is at the 12th position, it has a combo magnetic pickup, piezo bridge and body sensor, the strings are LaBella high tension flatwounds. And although it's smaller than the Standard Bace, this combination still got the sounds-like-an-upright-bass comments from colleagues, audience, including a Grammy winning sound engineer! These will be added to the range of Bace models.

We had a great gig at this extraordinary venue in Lanzarote, Canary Islands, Spain. I brought my prototype of a short scale Bace with a 3/4 cello body that fits in a cello case, and is thus very practical for traveling by plane. Marco, one of the hosts of the venue, being a much recorded studio bassist himself, was impressed with my Bace and bought it on the spot!
Needless to say, I will add this design variation to the Bace repertoire, fitting nicely between the Standard Bace and the smaller E-Bace!
