    Another Builder (KD CUSTOM) = Another Great Bass

    It's been pointed out to my that my preference is jazz basses. However, I am open to any bass that sounds fantastic. The KD Custom in the video has the heavy bass tone and articulation that I love to hear! Great player paired with a great bass is a hellava pairing!
