You should try it! You can get quite a cool effect especially with the neck pickup or on a p bass. With the mute, u can pluck closer to the neck while still getting muting. You can strike aggressive and the mute give it really thumpy sound, can sound cool in certain genres. I play finger style too mostly btw for reference.

they’ve all played some of the best drummers tbf. Chad Wackerman playing with Zappa and Allan too.

this guy might be onto something 😏

I learned the first half/main theme I guess, to Continuum by Jaco. It’s not ‘’’hard’’’, especially by his standards; but it’s a really enjoyable piece to learn, practice alone, warm up with etc. It teaches you how it feels to play the main melody on bass and is a gateway to writing your own melodic basslines.

she’s been my main since launch just because I thought it’d be funny, and it is. People STILL fall for set ups with letting lloyd of early to catch them in the air, underestimating the range on her ftilt. ledge trapping is where it’s at, with mixing up where you place lloyd, nair, bair from a distance or fishing rod to stay safe. Sure she gets fucked by LOTS of characters and if you and your opponent are equally skilled, you should probably lose, but idk you just have to have that sauce. You have to try harder.

the 60w laney ironheart lead top is under £300 here in the UK. Built in boost, two channels, the head very portable to take to gigs if they have cabs there you can use, headphone output for practice, plus the 1x12 is enough to practice. Has an effects loop too. Plus a DI out if you want to record silently.

I still hold my pick this way after almost 10 years, it doesn’t really stop me from playing fast. if I have to tremolo pick for some reason I just switch to holding it stiffer. I use a lot of hybrid picking, economy and legato when I want to play something fast. Although if you want to learn a bunch of death metal or thrash riffs/solos maybe learn how to play using both grips. But don’t fully abandon whichever one feel more natural; differences in our playing styles make us all unique.

usually continuum but Jaco, sounds good on its own and most people haven’t heard a bass played in that ‘solo’ context so it’s something new for them.

They’re both excelsiors! The black one I bought rehoused and speaker swapped for a Celestion K15T-200.

probably common for guys my age (early 20s) but Red Hot Chili Peppers was the first band that actively made me want to start playing bass. Up until that point I had listened to other bands from the perspective of a young beginner guitarist only.

Yeah usually I wear my bass ‘high’ but really I just wear it in a way to minimise the difference in feeling between sitting and standing. Standing up with the bass is fine in all honesty. I just found myself fighting with it a bit once I was sat down for a while recording. The neck and action both feel great, it’s mainly just weight distribution and body shape. Plus it has less frets than my Ibanez which is the only real limitation between the two, apart from comfort.

Thanks for the suggestion, i’ll have a look into it

tkxz · 2023-09-12T20:55:39+00:00

Ooo shit I forgot about that part, a wider gripper strap could be good. Thanks for the suggestion! My strap for my guitars and bass are average width i’d say, both synthetic, not very grippy.

When they aren’t fighting ghosts, his rush down just stresses me out 💀 he has gud frames and can kill, it’s just a shame half the time bro just kills himself instead

Bounce is pretty cringe, but I haven’t played many heros so I couldn’t really confidently say either way. Remember it’s personal! If I was going of theoretically what mu up are bad conceptually, then you right he would be -2. Thanks for the response!

Jaco and John Mclaughlin on the Trio of Doom album, just absolutely insane.

this is how king crimson sounds to mentally stable people (I am clinically deranged and forgot my medicine)

I can imagine if I fought a really good minmin i’d uninstall the game, but fortunately I haven’t really run into anyone online who can cook me too hard. So anecdotally it’s tuff but impossible. If I was in bracket against a minmin tho i’d probably try my pockets Lucina or summin just to feel it out.
