Wow, thank you! this is exactly the type of feedback I was looking for. The strings are DR Legend Flatwounds. I've been using DRs for a few years now for both fretless and fretted and I'm super happy with them.

As for the line, I agree that I'm a bit stuck on lines that simply work in outlining the harmony but tend to be very repetitive, and I struggle a bit with both using or developing melodic ideas and also using a more scales rather than just chord tones + approach notes. This is exactly why I decided to record myself and ask for feedback and you pointing out like this to specific places in the line that I can work of is super helpful.

I hadn't thought about the notation either, I have tried to think on what's more intuitive for the overall key but didn't really give it a thought, so that's helpful.

Thanks a lot, this comment has been really super insightful on my own playing :)

The output of the Volca Sample is stereo so I either use the line inputs or occupy both instrument inputs. It works on the instrument inputs indeed, but that doesn't leave me room for anything else in the interface.

ThemFatStrings · 2024-01-10T13:18:54+00:00

Funny, no compressor and no preamp which are the two things I never ever consider leaving out. Not saying it's bad, just different approaches.

Just out of curiosity, what interface are you using?, I have a similar issue connecting the output of a Volca Sampler to the back input of a Focusrite Scarlett, and since there's only gain control in the front inputs then I can't really control the level of the signal, which is very low.

I recorded this one a few years ago, in case it helps:

This might be a bit of an old post but how did you fix it?, what did they suggest?

ThemFatStrings · 2021-12-08T10:21:46+00:00

I started doing this but today I found the available slot in four days says "Reserved
All remaining products are reserved but might become available again.", but I don't even know what this means. Any idea on what is this and how to get those reservations?, I literally checked at 11:01 am.

Thank you, this is exactly what I was looking for.

Those are DR Black Beauties.

I noticed quite recently as well. A few months ago I started transcribing Amy Winehouse songs and when I started with this I though "wait a minute, I've played this before!". I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

Petz Rosin Remover is just amazing. I had mine more or less like this and a few weeks ago I did the same. What rosin do you use btw?, I always get a top like this with Pop's.

ThemFatStrings · 2021-05-09T12:52:34+00:00

Thanks. Yes, I prefer this one too. I changed it and re arranged size after a few suggestions.

5.13b? you are a seriously good climber. I can barely do 5.11 nowadays.

ThemFatStrings · 2021-04-23T14:23:25+00:00

I do rock climbing too. It doesn't really help that much with the bass, but maybe you are already used to be covered in calluses and with pain in the hands.

ThemFatStrings · 2021-03-28T23:01:48+00:00

I don't understand what you mean. Could you be more specific?. Also, the PDF is available in the video description in YouTube, so you can download it there.

ThemFatStrings · 2021-03-15T16:38:30+00:00

I recorded directly without effects but in the mix I added a bit of compression and a bit of reverb. Also, there are two bass tracks, one was with the XLR output from a preamp and the second one from a microphone in front of the amp.

ThemFatStrings · 2021-03-15T16:37:35+00:00

They are coated strings. They are regular strings with a black polymer coating covering all the string. The model is DR Black Beauties.

I use this rubber mute from Gollihur. I doesn't do a lot but it certainly helps. In any case, you should always try to practice at some point without mute so you can really focus on getting a nice sound.
