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.

She has played upright bass in TDM3 and has used different amps and pickups for their "plugged-in" shows. The biography sheet referenced above is a small intro to this incredible group of musicians. TDM3's sound has been described as "garage-y ragtime, punkified blues, old n' new timey without settling upon a particular era....."

Do yourself a favor and check out TDM3 if you haven't yet.
