yes very, but that's neither here nor there, you can do double thumb stuff with high action, or low action, I play with low action not for my thumb stuff, but for my fingerstyle stuff, tread lightly but carry a big stick and all that.

Interesting. Maybe it's because I have such tight string spacing but I need low action for double thumbing. Otherwise it's possible but the amount of force required to produce a good sound negates the purpose of the technique in the first place haha.

ya, for sure, but then look at bill dickens, he does double thumb stuff on a 7 string with high action(that is, he practices with very high action)

[ole Jason]

But that's Bill Dickens Does he double thumb the same way as Vic? I can't recall ever having a good view of Dickens doing it.

[Wrong Robot]

if bill can do it, so can you.

he gets his whole hand in there, 10 finger technique and all that, but the basic down up concept is still there.
