    Steve Harris technique

    I don't what Steve does but I play it with two fingers... It's pretty hard but still possible. And seems like Steve does too, at least in this vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9OAfOwTZaU :D

    Steve Harris technique

    I know, what I meant was that if you play very close to the bridge, it's almost impossible to get the strings hit the frets to get the "clanky" sound... At least I can't do it :D

    Steve Harris technique

    Yeah, of course you have to play with the right technique too (tried the bass a few days ago) but the signature is the closest replica of his bass available. If you play with the excact same techinque as Harris does but use a fretless Warwick or something like that, you won't get the same...

    Three or Four fingers?

    I also learned to play with only three but sometimes you might need all four. I almost wasn't able to play with my pinkie at all, it kind of locked from the joint. Then I practiced it for some time and now I can play with it. Still feels pretty unnatural but it's easier now and really useful in...

    Guitarist gone bass...

    Yeah, I remember when I changed to bass, it felt huge. Then, after not touching guitar in a few months, guitars felt like tiny toys :) And about the amount of fingers you use: just use the ones you feel comfortable with. I have never liked playing with three fingers so I play with two. It's not...

    Steve Harris technique

    Here are the things I can think of that would make you sound more like Steve: - Flats (maybe his custom rotosounds if you really want the exact same tone) - EQ settings: much high but some low too, something like 3 low, 5 mid and 7 high. Experiment and you'll find what works for you - Try to...

    Ok, so practicing isn't really necessary :) Hopefully the neck goes well because it's absolutely the hardest part to build...

    Practising is really important for a first-timer, especially if you're gonna use some expensive woods. Just take some really cheap wood (I think you can get some from school for free) and make a quick copy of the bass you're going to build. I think it's better to mess up with a cheap or free...

    So I must be number 28. From Vantaa if anyone's interested... I'm gonna start a bass project soon too, at school. It's gonna be all-wenge :hyper: It's my first project so I need to practice a little before I can start doing it. So you (and I) will have to wait some time. Will probably start...

    The Big Free Music Related Software Thread

    Just use some good equalizer. Transcribe! is a pretty good software for that. iTunes also has a surprisingly good equalizer. Just experiment with different settings and you'll find the best one for you. Mixing of the song also affects the outcome a lot.If the mix is bad, you won't have very good...

    What woods to use?

    That's not a bad idea at all... I think I can even get some woods for free. Wenge really is too rare and expensive to mess up with...
