I also have a M.I.M Jazz bass with the dots in the fretted bass position . I had a good laugh when I heard Tony Franklin say he has issues with bass necks marked like this, and not with dots in the proper notation location . It does bother me as well and I am not at Mr Franklin's skill level ...

I would really like to understand how people play bass using boxes or patterns. You want to play a major scale , use a major scale pattern . Then move it where you need to to play it in the right key . The same technique goes for all of the other scales . Sounds cool to me on paper, I just...

I would very much like to know what do you mean by a singing bass? Can you recommend a Video that would be an example of what you mean? Thanks know

Thanks for the picture. Best thing I have seen all am, for I slipped on the mud by my door and screwed up my ankle. Now the people here in the E.R are asking what talk bass is. Thanks for making my morning a little better. Clayton P.S Another picture would be awesome.

Installation of Fender tuners on a Warwick is just against the rules of the Universe. Installation of Warwick tuners on a Fender makes everything in the universe better.

Thanks for your answers every one and please add anything any time you want. I asked this question when my studies showed it is possible. I never even thought of it before, but is is an interesting idea. I always play for the song only and I would not try this in a live or rehearsal situation...

I am not sure how to ask this question but I will do my best. Can you play a chord progression the first time through with an ascending bass line, then on the second time through use a descending bass line? If you do this would you have to use different inversions of the chords? How much...

There is a strange thing out there in music theory called "Modes". Small elusive notes that gravitate to bass giants like pilot fish; yet run away from us mere mortals. Playing modes is really not that hard to do, understanding how they work and how to use them is another story. Is there a...

Either change your strings or do this to your bass.

There is a Master class with Bob Babbitt on YouTube. It is about an hour long and what he has to say is very informitive. In this video he talks about learning keyboards made him a better bass player. I find this amazing for he made it sound like he has not been playing piano that long...
