not so much for what he's playing as for that he is playing. Fantastic!

I had no idea how to play a supporting bass line to what he was playing. It blew my mind. Jauqo was able to pull it off during his clinc. How I do not know. Ill post the vid up on google soon of him at the GTG. |

I would do some body knocks with the right hand as well as some neat slide stuff. I mean, I am sure he has tried all of these ideas. I'll have to ask Jauqo what else he can do. Amazing..... Quote: |

And yes, thats what looks to be a parts jazz bass with an epoxied ebony or rosewood lined fingerboard and a pearloid pickguard. He also seems to have it tuned lower (maybe BEAD) and hes got a capo and a cloth or towel muting as well.
