Someday My Prince will Come - Six String bass.   I learned this many years ago on 4 string as it lays really well on the fretboard.  It works even better on the 4 string.

Beatrice - Sam Rivers  Solo upright bass.  I had just gotten this bass after playing on a plywood bass for many many years.  This is a mid 1990's carved bass built by Rumano Solano who is a luthier out of Maryland.  I used to have another Solano bass that sounded amazing but, it was rather large and I couldn't afford to keep it at the time so I sold it to help pay for my graduate school and decided to gig with my old plywood upright bass which was a decent bass but, could not hold a candle to a decent carved bass.  I happened to find this bass on Talkbass.com for a really good deal.  It sounds amazing as well but, this one is a little smaller and easier to travel with.  It is strung with Thomastik Spirocores.  I don't get picky about strings.  You can spend thousands of dollars on strings for something that the average listener can't tell the difference.  It's just not worth it to me.  The bass though.... totally worth it.
