Jon Thorne gives his thoughts at 0:48 or so. If you haven't heard it, listen to the album "Miles/Gurtu" by Robert Miles and Trilok Gurtu. The album has both upright and acoustic basses, often both on the same track. The production is immaculate, and the soundscapes are amazing (especially if in a, uh, d9-heightened state). ruclips.net/video/xql3l9UmEqw/видео.html
Thanks for mentioning this album. Robert was a thoughtful and talented man, such a kind soul and I miss him dearly. The Miles/Gurtu album remains one of the most remarkable things I've played on.
It really doesn't get any better than Mingus.
