Classical Violinist Nigel Kennedy was on the BBC news this morning promoting his new album and jazz band from Poland where he currently lives.   The bass player using an Alembic fretless bass. I think it is a spoiler  

 

 

The sound of Alembic is medicine for the soul!

Looks like a Distillate to me... nice fretless.

The bass player appears to be Adam Kowalewski.

Funny thing, I've never heard of Adam Kowalewski and it's rather hard to find much info about him on the internet...

A distillate for sure! Beautiful fretless version as well..very desirable!

very solid player, wasn't doing anything flash at all.
great sounding bass. Fortunately I had the movie sound system on so could hear the meat in the sound.
