If my undestanding is correct... and for those who didn't bother to read the Q&A website. Basically the pickups give you unprecedented level of control over your tone. Just like standard pickups convert field distortions (magnetic metal aka string moving inside an electro-magnetic field...

I rest my ring finger on A-string when playing G-string with anchored thumb on E-string. Keeps the A from ringing. But I only use it when I just visit the G-string and have my anchor on E. For faster passages I tend to hop my anchor over to A or even D for 16ths on G. For floating thumb this...

I don't have a song like that. I just wanted to do music. I was 19-ish at the time and thought bass would be easiest to start on and learn "how music works". It is more of an intellectual and technical journey for me. Now I enjoy improvising the most.

I've been trying to get some practice in when I have time and I feel there's progress. I have to work extra hard on the upstroke, guess it's just underutilized muscle group. Lighter picking seems easier on the fretting hand. My setup is quite low so "plucking" harder with pick produces fret buzz...

Well this thread escalated. Couple years? Ok that sounds reasonable. I've only just started systematic practice of picking. I've dabbled with picks earlier but never really got around to get the control required for proper atriculation. I had a revelation last time, about the "how to hold...

I've read it, several times. I thought I had a heavy pick, but guess not. And I need a sponge or scrunchie for muting I guess, my RH tends to open up and fingers float freely, then pick comes loose. Pick also tends to be a little sideways and not aligning with the string (and I need to turn my...

Hmm, yeah have to get those really REALLY thick ones then to try out. I have only 1 hole left on my storebought strap, but it makes headstock go even further making first position awkard. I'll try. What really would help would be a strap that kept the bass more in upright DB position. As for...

I'm trying to learn Parallel Universe by RHCP and decided to learn proper alternate picking while at it. I'm running at 80bpm cleanly, I believe album version is 124, which is my target. Anyways, the problem is that pick just feels awkward. It always feels like I have to make a compromise...

Budget: 500-1000$/€ all together, cables, wires and stuff. Bass: Warwick Dolphin Pro II with active 9V preamp, MEC pickups, sounds pretty with everything set to center. Strings: Currently Optima Golds, Standard tuning, pretty upper harmonics Amp: Hartke LH500 Cabs: Pair of Laney 15" neodymium...

I didn't read any of the thread, just the original post. The whole idea of playing behind, ahead, anywhere with the beat is that the underlying pulse stays where it is. If everyone goes there, the FEEL might change which probably is not what you want. Stop counting and thinking, it's the feel...

Wow. Awesome.

You mean like, keeping your thumb behind the neck, having straight wrist in both hands and in general easier access to notes?

So... Hanging low is cool when the one hanging is inside your pants. If it's outside your pants and you grab it like your manhood, stroke it around going up and down... On a chick bass player it looks cool tho :cool: On a serious note, the angle of the bass makes it feel awkward. Having more of...
