    Who can decipher this? Nashville Number System

    A Nashville session cat I follow on IG posted a photo of a session chart on his story. I’m a musical staff guy so initially, it was hieroglyphics to me. Granted, I understand numbers and use them often when playing live. I typically chart with numbers when I’m under the gun. But his is...

    Can you i.d. this bass lurking behind Willie?

    So I've been working my way through the great Ken Burns documentary series Country Music and I noticed this unusual looking headstock peeking out from behind Willie Nelson onstage. The photo appears to be mid to late 60s, but I thought that bass looked like it time travelled from the late 70s or...

    Is Nashville the new Motown?

    Country radio sure is hot these days, if you haven't noticed, and there's some very catchy, well-played and well-produced bass lines being created. I was listening the past few weeks, and today I heard the new Lady Antebellum song, Heart Break, and IMO it has a pretty slick, tasteful bassline...

    Double Bass Cool 1938 American Standard - Nashville

    This gorgeous classic is at Williams Violins in Nashville. I borrowed it for a rehearsal as it is almost exactly the same as mine, in fact, mine is #593 and this one is #594! Immaculate condition. Unusually clear tone for an AS, very present and quick.
