Sign in to disble this ad
Just recorded a couple of licks, if anyone wanna check them out: http://youtube.com/watch?v=M9WDC4evYVk
I just learned a new "position change" the other day that gives a whole lot of options. Hopefully you can figure out what I do if you think itīs cool....think you hear it best at the cheesy wank part near the end.
And btw, do you guys think my bass need a new setup, due to that fretbuzzing? Or is my bad technique to be blamed? Or is it perhaps normal?
Oh, and check out the original song for that groove: http://www.myspace.com/radiostarnorway
(Not me playing on that recording....)

For that very fast, precise stuff towards the end--are you playing very softly, but with the volume up?
Awesome, awesome tone and playing.

Donīt think I play that soft, I just mute most of the notes with my left hand.
Just realised that thereīs a bit less buzzing when I sit further away from the computer when I record, btw... |

I believe (it's kinda hard at time to tell) that you were playing those faster licks toward the end with two fingers in your right hand. Nice! Faster and more accurate than other people I've seen trying to play with three fingers in the right hand. Nice bass too. 
I'd love to hear you playing with drums or in a band context.

Not to worry, but do pay attention to the simple things. Like ALWAYS having a drum beat or 'nome running to keep calibrating that little quartz ocillator we bassists are supposed to have in our heads!
Cool riff! And I dig the sound of the Sadowsky!
