my friend got his pride and joy caught in a ceiling fan... not good...:hiding:

i don't know how low u'd like to go but how bout this Steve digiorgio buys six strings packs and then tunes the bass EADGC Since the groves in the nut are bigger than the the string it produces a clicky sound (Make sense?) Just a thought

:confused: ???

Try this g------14h17------14h17 d-0h17-------0h17 a e the notes could be wrong but i'm sure thats the right pattern

another thing too no matter what the tone is i find playing quickly on the g string very difficult

I'm not sure if this even makes sense, but sometimes when there is alot of treble in my tone if find it harder to play fast And when the tone is very warm with alot of bass its seems easier to Is there anyone else who has a similar issue? Or do i just have issues :hiding:

This is definatly in the intermediate level. Try leanrning "Thank you" by sly and the family stone. Very easy slap line. That or select songs by the red hot chili peppers. The slap part to "storm in a teacup" isn't insanely chalenging.

ESP/LTD People seem to think these are all about heavy metal, but I have a F 155 and it sounds great when playing funk, and blues:smug:

But what if my equipment isn't that good I only have a fender 60 watt amp I tried out one time for a band and i didn't get it. I'm thinking it was more my equipment than me.

Thanks guys you've been very helpful :)

(If there are alot of these theads im sorry:hiding: ) I've been playing bass for 3 years, and i've never been in a serious band. My dream is to play for a thrash metal band, but since I play with my fingers I'm not sure if I can handle the high speed quite yet even though I play with 3...

Smackdown by SAdus uses fretless bass for the intro Peace sells by Megadeath I'm not sure if this is considered an intro but A single second by AFI

Personally I use both in different situations. for 16th notes its RMIM, but when I need to play anything in groups of 3 like 6 tuplets I use RMI. For me both styles are very difficult to control especially with string skipping. Mostly I'm limited to playing 4 notes per string at high speeds...

Steve digiorgio Victor wooten Geddy lee

Steve digiorgio of Sadus (and about 100 other bands and projects :) ) is very fast. SAdus's new CD out for blood is a pretty good example of his bass playing. Im surprised noones mentioned him Steve bailey, Gary willis, les claypool, john myung, billy sheehan, john entwistle, sean malone...
