I always listen to all the recordings and never had a problem, but when I click on your link I get a 403 Forbidden error. Could you post it on soundcloud? By the way I use d'Addario strings because you can rely on them. I've played whith a lot of other brands, but the quality is not always...

Glad to see happy faces.

First I want apologize for all the mistakes I probably made in this message. English is not my native language. The last year and a half I followed the Spector thread on a daily basis. I always loved the sound of a Spector bass, but the american basses are hard to get here in europe. 20 years...

Sam I hope everything will work out fine.

Thanks for the info Lima. I'll give the DR Hi Beams a try.

This is very helpful. Could you tell me what kind of strings you are using (brand, size of each string) on both examples and how you recorded it?

I really like your video. I've played in a Rush tribute for about 2 years and I know how hard it is play. Many people try to cover Geddy and are not always successful, but you did. I always played a normal fender jazz bass, but now I am thinking of getting me a Geddy Lee one. This is a...

Also as a teacher insist that your student must learn to read music. It will come in handy one day. When I was about 20 years old the local big band asked me to play bass. All the music was written down. Some songs were written down note by note others just in chords. If my teacher didn't learn...

For anyone who is interested. I've included a txt file. Just download it, rename it to zip and unpack it. The file includes a pdf and midi file of the chromatic fantasy by Bach. The tab section is my interpretation. (I created it with sibelius). Just listen to Jaco Pastorius on his first album...

You just have to try. It's like hitting a wall and you're stuck. Just let it rest for a day and try again. I assure you it won't take a decade.

Finally someone ho also plays bach. I like it a lot. I don't have video but here is a soundcloud clip of my version

This is what I do at home for practice. I could make a couple of videos with some slap examples. Let me know what you think about it. TheBassman1313 - YouTube I know I steal a lot of other players.:smug:
