John Kahn's upright?

[Manatee]

Does anybody have any idea whether Kahn rented double basses, or had his own for all gigs? Any notion if it was Carved? Hybrid? Laminated? What strings? Pretty obscure I would imagine. . .

Steve Parrish might know since he managed the JGB for years. He's on Facebook and I believe it is personally him, not some helper or ghost-writer.

Pretty sure I saw it up for sale sometime in the last couple years. Was a custom deal made in Germany I think? Aw help... To the Google machine!
