Ben L'Oncle Soul - cool bass!

[Musicman20]

Wow, this band has some great bass lines!

Can anyone identify the bass?

His name is Olivier Carole....I thought it was a Lakland. Nope, wrong bridge. Sadowsky, nope.

Overwater?

as usual you dont get to see the bassist much.. the headstock a little like a Valenti but i think not.. there are so many unknown custom jazz bass makers its hard to say..... great vid..

[Musicman20]

Probably the coolest bass player Ive seen in a while. Super slick subtle slap!

Looks like a great live band for sure - probably well worth catching if you can

I downloaded their album today, very good indeed. Might just have to drag myself up to the South Bank on the 12th and see them in the flesh.

Still no idea on the make of bass that's being played and I've really been looking on t' web.

The bridge looks like an Overwater.
