"Being a smaller woman playing the bass I’ve always had to compromise because I’ve wanted that big fat lower register. I did not want to play a small instrument with a smaller sound. I didn’t think it was possible but Nick Lloyd actualized my dream by creating a beautiful instrument with a big box, small shoulders and a 39" string length. This bass allows me to express things musically I’ve only struggled to do before." -L. Lang
