Hi
Just learned about harmonics. I know roughly how to play them(by lightly pressing the fret) but I need more help making them more clearer and actually making a tune with them with the harmonics scales which I don't know. Does anyone know where I can get a video or normal tutorial on harmonics for bass?

There is a good book on harmonics for guitar from the Musicians Institute. You could get a lot of ideas for bass from that book. (I did.)

You know what the book is called?

Try playing a harmonic on the g string, but lay your thumb on top of the string on your right hand, and pop the string with you index of your right hand like you are playing slap, and bend the note. It's a similar effect to a pinch harmonic on guitar.

that technique is cool.

Also does anyone know where I can get some Billy Sheehan music like his Niacin song Clean-Up Crew.

Thanks

Portrait of Tracy. That is all.

Check http://www.basslobster.com/ - excellent Mats Hagervik site. There is nice harmonics lesson on "Lessons" page.

There's a bunch of threads on harmonics:

Try plucking/picking closer to the bridge.

I find that boosting the Mid EQs really help those harmonics come out.

same here. you dont really press the string lightly, its more like you rest your finger on top of the string. I find that harmonics come out the best near the frets, and there really isnt anything in between the frets. The harmonic could be in front of or behind the fret. I mean, it could be somewhat in the middle, but not really in the middle, if you get what I'm saying.

Also, dont pluck too hard, it won't come out as well, and playing towards the bridge helps.
