Epiphone viola bass demo with playing

I figured that if I was going to spend a bunch of time on my channel talking about short scale basses, that I needed to have a look at a viola bass. That's not to say that I haven't personally played one before, because I have, multiple times, I just don't own one, for reasons that I will get into later in the video. It doesn't mean it's not the right bass for you, it's just not the right bass for me. I mean, if I had unlimited space and was limiting myself to 30 short scales basses instead of 5, I would probably own one. Maybe even two.

Anyway, bass is played direct into my interface and into a DAW, no amp sims. No processing on the bass. This is not sponsored content. I don't own the bass, but borrowed it with no expectation of a positive review. The rest of the gear is my own.
