Critic Reviews

BASS LAB – Nick Lloyd Upright Bass | Bass Gear Magazine

bassgearmag.com

The Nick Lloyd Upright Bass is a masterclass in craftsmanship, receiving high praise for its impeccable construction and balanced tone. While it lacks the aged gravitas of historic instruments, its consistency and clean sound across all registers make it a standout choice. The bass excels in both pizzicato and arco performances, particularly noted for its powerful E string without sacrificing sensitivity on the G string. Aesthetically, it exudes quality with a flawless finish and smooth, flowing lines. However, its high price point may deter some buyers. Overall, this bass is a stellar investment for those seeking high-quality and bespoke craftsmanship.

In this Acoustic preformance, Steele can be seen playing an upright bass throughout the video.

This Upright also appeared in the music video for "Black No. 1", however neither time is he playing it upright, as he's seen playing it horizontaly sometimes useing a chain as a strap.

In this photo Steele can be seen with a Light Green Upright Bass, its is unclear if this is different Upright Bass or if Steele kept the Bass used in the video and modified it at another date later on.
