This is a somewhat unusual instrument. It’s a Knilling Thinline Jazz Bass. It looks much the same as any other upright bass, only much thinner.

The store where I bought it has a number on the Bass of 67188. I am not sure if that is the model number or the Serial number. It has some dings around the bottom edge of the back of the bass and some nicks on the Scroll. It also was equipped with a Realist pickup.

The bass was in a gig bag case when it was stolen.

Here are a couple photos of Bryan playing the instrument to give you an idea of what it looks like and where some of the dings he’s talking about are located.

At noon, Cumberland Gap Connection will perform on their Blue Plate Special program. They are one of the IBMA official showcase acts this year (playing Monday night), and will stop off for this show at the WDVX Knoxville studios on their way to Nashville for IBMA.

Then at 9:00 p.m. (EDT) the station will offer a live broadcast of Cherryholmes’ CD release party at The Rutledge. You’ll hear the music from their new CD, Cherryholmes III – Don’t Believe, which hits the streets tomorrow (9/30).

WDVX originates from Knoxville, TN and is broadcast in that market at 102.9 FM – and via live streaming online.
