    "Official" Carvin and Kiesel Club - Part 3

    I am considering Vader 30 inch 6-string. The low B in these has gotten some good response here. How about the opposite end? Can one get nice, bright chords and solo lines in the high register?

    How fast is your picking hand?

    Practice playing with one finger. Three notes per beat, four notes per beat etc. before rest each time. Soon you'll be playing fast strings of 16'ths with one finger. Aim for relaxed feeling, without undue tensions in the picking hand. Do this for both index and middle fingers, favoring your...

    Headless full carbon fiber bass

    Very nice, indeed. I really liked the sound. Were you able to make structural decisions to shape the final sound of the instrument? Ja kerro sitten kun alat tekemään näitä enemmän... :D

    If you play intricate unison riffs they might be easier on a five-string. You would get two octaves in one position. Some would also say that closer string-spacing is better for fast fingerstyle playing.

    One pickup in 'sweet spot'?

    I'll remember that. Not widely known fact: we use polar bear teeth for picks in Finland.

    Nordstrand Dual Coil with coil switching - samples! :)

    One pickup in 'sweet spot'?

    What pickup would you suggest? Series/parallel/single coil switches would be added. I would be going for modern punchy tone on six-string graphite-neck instrument, mostly finger-style and chordal playing. Thanks.
