Q3. Tell us about a dream bass that you would love to take home (ISB 5 Questions)

ARTIST INTERViews from the isb - Question 3/5

filmed at the ISB (International Society of Bassists) Convention 2023, Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Next up in our special 5 questions interview series filmed live at the ISB 2023 convention, we ask the artists all about their dream double bass that they would absolutely love to own. We talked to over 15 incredible bassists who were at the convention in Michigan and asked them the same 5 questions, and we've grouped together the answers in these videos. This is question 3 out of 5, so make sure to check out the other questions below. Big thanks to everyone who took the time to talk to us, and to the organisers of the ISB for putting on such an incredible convention!

Our third question: Tell us about a dream bass that you would love to take home.
