BASS MUSICIAN: Bunny Brunel LTD BB-1004 Signature 4-String Bass Review
If I had to choose one word for the Bunny Brunel LTD BB-1004 Signature 4-String it would be – beautiful! – Beautiful in looks, tone, and playability.
The LTD BB-1004 is Bass 2.0, having ‘everything you need for anything and everything’ bass!
Let’s start off with Bunny Brunel himself.
Bunny has played with numerous Jazz greats such as Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Stevie Wonder, and many others.
The Bunny Brunel LTD BB-1004 Signature is a true workhorse of a bass and was designed with working bassists in mind.
The tone is clean, punchy, and defined. Playability is second to none. The 34” three-piece maple asymmetrical neck with the neck thru configuration is sleek and fast, not too thin, just right and made complete with a 24 fret Ebony fingerboard. The tone is a combination of the alder body with a quilted maple top, along with Aguilar passive pickups and the Aguilar OBP-3EQ 3 band EQ. The bridge pickup is the Aguilar 4J HC and the neck pickup is the Aguilar MM.

AGENDA October 2017 and Marc Mennigmann – The Hands Project
Marc Mennigmann | hands-project.de | November 10, 2017
Online Mention:
“When I was at the Warwick Bass Camp 2016 I met Kaylene Peoples, a recording artist and Editor in Chief of Fashion & Lifestyle Magazine AGENDA. We did a nice interview which was released in the first monthly print issue of the Magazine, October 2017. Here is the complete interview.” Marc Mennigmann, The Hands Project
“HANDS” BY MARC MENNIGMANN
From the magazine:
THERE’S TRUTH IN BLACK & WHITE
Interviewed by Kaylene Peoples | Responses by Marc Mennigmann
Photographer Marc Mennigmann from Isalon, Germany, documents in the rare medium of black and white film. He uses a Leica Mononchrom, which is not only a complex camera, but is known for its rich optics that cater to alternative mediums in photography. Mennigmann chooses to spend his time capturing his subjects in their rawest form, bringing out their essence and exposing a vintage grittiness only seen in rare instances today with the explosion of digital color photography. A purist in the deepest sense, he has started a project called HANDS. Marc has spent hours photographing the hands of famous musicians around the world, and the simplicity of a black and white photograph does his subjects the most justice.
