It's interesting you say this because I remember you commenting that one
of your reasons for buying an A bass was that you found a noticeable
character difference.

The story is probably in the archives somewhere but it's a tale that
bears repeating---do you want to tell us about that?

And did you get to play Mahler 4 on it, and how was that experience?
