One of the great things about doing online collabs is the chance to play on a whole range of styles. If you play in a real band it tends to be fairly narrowly focussed regarding musical style compared to what you can explore on this site.
This song really called for upright acoustic bass, and I only have an electric (a headless Steinberger). What I enjoyed was doing some research by listening to some recordings of upright bass on some jazz ballads (Ella Fitzgerald etc.) and trying to emulate it. I was pleased with the results and would love to have a go at something similar again.
