Pain-staking Efforts
The instrument was played by Bernd Konzett, a well-known jazz bassist from the Austrian state of Vorarlberg. Following numerous test recordings, he equipped his 4-string, three-quarter bass with a 113 cm scale with thinner E and A strings, and thicker D and G strings. A short while thereafter, Bernd realized just how painful it can be to record samples for Vienna Symphonic Library. As opposed to a several-hour-long gig at a jazz club, a glissandos recording session can be torturous, leaving the musician with veritable burns on the fingertips. The strings themselves heat up to high temperatures, resulting in regular blistering of the fingertips, even leaving behind a certain smell of burned and blistered skin in the Silent Stage.
