Fishbone - Bonin' in the Boneyard bass solo section.

[Skitch it!]

Just out of curiosity has anyone worked out exactly what happens in the last bar of Norwoods solo on this at point 3.13?

It sounds as if there is a low G vamp going on under the pops which to my ears are Bb on 13th fret of the A string and it's octave and D on the 10th fret of the E string and it's octave but there seems to be a low G vamp (3rd fret E string) happening under this at the same time, it doesn't seem to be do-able on a 4 or a 5 to keep the low G vamp with the high position of those pops? I can only think studio overtrack/overdub maybe?

I was wondering if anyone may have worked it out with a phrase trainer or such, just asking ; )

Possible on a 5 string?

Norwood Fisher does have quite large hands, but not enough for that stretch I'd imagine, there seems to be a Gb bounce happening in that under-vamp too, that's a 8/9 fret stretch over that phrase from Gb/G on the B string (8th fret) to Bb on the G String (15th). I've checked out all the Fishbone live versions to watch the hand positions Norward uses but can't figure that last bar?

It actually could have been played on a 5, if he detuned the B string to bring the stretch down, I'm flummoxed ; )
