Naminator01 07-12-2007, 08:14 PM I usually use it for solos, that extended range is the only thing its good for. I have an F string and dont know how to use it know damnit. Dave Martin 07-12-2007, 08:24 PM I use mine mainly for harmonics and chords, but occasionaly I'll do a lick that uses it instead of going really high on the neck... Grueber 07-12-2007, 10:41 PM Range for playing "classical" music(high C and high F) ThunderSix66 07-12-2007, 10:48 PM having the high C makes me play chords on bass a lot more. and tapping solos don't get better. plus being able to play notes in different fret positions kick ass, not having to climb all the way up the neck all the time for those licks knarleybass 07-12-2007, 10:52 PM Double Stops cosmicevan 07-12-2007, 10:53 PM i use it for higher notes in a single hand position. with 6 strings, it is a real advantage getting 2 full octaves in one position. i use hi-c (the drink) to make my pee look yella... spindizzy 07-13-2007, 06:55 AM +1 - yella pee! :ninja: fcleff 07-13-2007, 09:44 AM Solos, stops, and less shifting. :bassist: AmazingGracePlayer 07-13-2007, 09:58 AM False harmonics arpeggios. And also for playing Amazing Grace. :) Bob McHenry 07-13-2007, 10:08 AM I use the high C string on both of my5 string EUBS (that have 41 1/2 " Scale lengths) primarily to keep from having to spend a lot of time and effort up high in the thumb position while soloing. Bob McHenry bassman10@comcast.net vyse933 07-13-2007, 11:33 AM Chords/multiple stops, soloing, range. cosmicevan 07-13-2007, 04:33 PM I use the high C string on both of my5 string EUBS (that have 41 1/2 " Scale lengths) primarily to keep from having to spend a lot of time and effort up high in the thumb position while soloing. Bob McHenry bassman10@comcast.net WOW! 41.5" scale length! That must sound like a piano. I love 36", but 41.5" that's something! Got any pix? |
