In 2006 Nicholas stepped out to become a leader and released his own record.

Nicholas is playing and loving his Elfin Bass.  There's a blurb about the affair on Martin's site.

He also Loves La Bella's 760N, nylon tapewound strings.  When something else is called for, he'll reach for La Bella 760RL roundwounds or 760FL flatwounds. Long scale or medium scale.
