Sounds like I just need to practice more with this floating thumb thing. Is it normal to be slower? This is what I was doing, but after getting 5 strings it is getting harder to mute with that technique.

Hi, In the song Spain by Chick Corea the bass starts with an open e and afterwards an open g. Right now when I try one string rings and It takes me a noticeable amount of time to mute with the floating thumb technique; it sounds like mud. How do I make it sound as seamless as my fretted notes sound?

Hello, Just upgrade from my cheapo no name that had a 32.5 inch scale, but now all my strings are too long :thumbsdown:. I really like flatwounds, and high tension strings but it seems that most stores do not sell short scale strings. Can I just cut the strings, or would I break them? Thanks, Dan
