I can't hear the bass behind the tapping part at 1:20 :( please anyone?!

Can someone help me learn a part of the song "Fives" by Guthrie Govan? Its at the tapping part at about 1:20 of the song. It is so hard to pick up by ear. :crying:

Oh! Thanks man!

What do you call those strings without the metal wounding near the end of the string? Is it a specific brand or did people just cut them off? Thanks.

What is Seth Govan using in Waves and Fives? Seth Govan is Guthrie Govan's bassist in his Erotic Cakes album. Can anyone help me identify the effects used by Seth in Waves and Fives? I can't seem to figure it out. Thank you TB! Kevin

Yea it sounds kinda good but its like 98% of the time. I'm never satisfied with my sound. :(

When I play live, I just set the amp to flat. I adjust my sound with the knobs on my bass. Is this correct or should I be doing something else? Thanks TB'ers! Cheers!

My bass is an EB Musicman Bongo 6 String. I forgot to site that one on my first post. And....my SR505 was stolen :bawl:

I told him to set it up like John Myung's action or something real low. When I got it from him, the action was perfect and now after 11 months, the action changed. The first strings are close to the frets whereas the higher strings (12 fret above) were unusually higher than before.

Thank you so much! I will download this as soon as I get home!

So you mean that to achieve perfect low action for your bass, you must adjust both the truss rod and bridge? The luthier at the store I bought it from said to me to "Always adjust at the truss rod not at the bridge." This was thru an email. Now, he won't even reply at all.

To achieve perfect low action do I need to adjust the bridge and truss rod accordingly? Or does setting the neck dead flat mean lowest action possible without fret buzz(through amp)? Thank you Tb'ers! Cheers!

Yes the strings are the same brand, Ernie Ball Slinkys. I'll try do the pressing the strings at the nut/saddle thingy if it helps. Thank you guys for the tips!

Hey TB peeps, I just changed my strings and the action changed. The Gauge is the same. It is an EB 6 String Long Scale Slinky @ 130-100-80-65-45-32. The action was not the same after changing my strings. Is this normal? Or should I be adjusting the truss rod @ 1/8 a turn? My bass is an EBMM...
