Pretty good stuff! I've just watched the YouTube video on your homepage. Not exactly my kind of music, but it sounds great. Also, you're a brilliant player! :)

Hey, guys, thank you for your answers. No, my current bass is standard length (same as ATK) but it has 24 frets. I've also compared ATK with other basses in shop, and the fret distance still looks somehow different. It also might be an illusion since it has a really thick neck (which I love!)...

Hi, everybody! I've got 2 questions regarding Ibanez ATK300. I'm planning to get it soon, so I'd like to know this. 1) The distances between frets look sorta odd to me. Is intonation with this bass still good? For example, on ATK, distance between the nut and the first fret (as well as 1st...

Sweet, I can't wait! I really like that demo thing that plays on your website :D I've got high expectations! :)

Ah, thanks for clearing it up! Once again, truly amazing stuff. But I'm still interested in hearing your music :) I've poked around your site a little bit, couldn't find any albums you've worked on. Is it just me or you don't have anything written there so far?

I'm listening to your Expression demo right now -- The tone is unbelievable! Your playing is amazing too. Is it your composition? I'm definitely interested to hear some more! Cheers.

Discontinued? I've seen that on Musician's Friend.com, but the stores told me it could be ordered. That bass is also listed on Jackson site. Could you be more specific about the pickups? What exactly is the problem with them? Lack of versatility? Thanks for your reply!

Thank you for your quick response! Well, just because I love ATKs, doesn't mean there's nothing I could possibly like even more ;) That's why I would like to try that Jackson too, I think it could be a cool bass. Squiers are out of question. I've tried a few, and I dislike them. And yeah, I...

Hey, guys. I've been playing for some time, and I think it's time to move to a new bass as soon as possible. So the 2 models I really have my eyes on are Ibanez ATK300 and Jackson CMG Concert Bass. I've heard ATK already, it sounds awesome. Fortunately, I have also tried it, it's quite...

Well, I simply put my left hand fingers on the strings. If I actually can't do that (in other words, if I have to do some complicated finger position), I use my right hand palm (not to be confused with palm mute technique). There's not much to be said about it, it comes naturally, but it...

Here's how I do it. I pluck the 11th fret with my index, then I also pluck the open D string with my index, and then with my middle finger. Repeat it to the end of the riff :) Sorta like sweeping the first 2 notes with my index.

Thank you for the link! I will make sure I check it out! :D

Wow, thank you all for your comments! It really helps. Now, I have some homework to do :)

Thanks for the quick response! Much appreciated. I will try to look for that book -- thanks a lot! I've seen a lot of positive reviews through a quick Googling. I'll look into that music you recommended, thanks again. You know, I really feel an urge to do something new. I'm kinda fed up with...

Hi, everyone! I've been playing bass for like a year. I'm mostly a metal bass player, but I feel a need to develop more, naturally. I pretty much listen anything that gets into my ears easily. No genre limitations. I feel that I really want to learn jazz. I believe jazz is the ultimate genre...
