The orig seems #1 to me.

A couple of years ago I was looking for an artist. I put up a request on a Western site. I got maybe one hundred responses, the great majority of which showed styles I had explicitly said I didn't want. I got one hate mail from a guy who didn't like my saying I didn't want these styles...

Very 21st century. From Indonesia.

These days my fave ebass thing. Only uses one finger in the right hand, very unusual. They say Jamie Jamerson was the same.

Mohini Dey is now a headliner selling out five shows in a row in NYC. I generally think the faster you play an ebass the worse it sounds -- maybe Roger Waters has the right idea -- but Mohini may be an exception.
