Paul Sharpe, Artist-Teacher of Double Bass at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts

And I'm messing around with my new Ultra-Stealth tailpiece and LOVING it.  I am honestly an equipment skeptic.  But you've sold me.  My low end, somehow is much more clear and popping, and the bass is more even.  I keep setting the bass down, and thinking it's just mind games, but I keep being impressed.  There is no doubt it was worth every penny.  It doesn't hurt that it is also gorgeous.
