I know that they omit the 4th and 7th degrees. I know the actual forms, the 5 patterns so to say. I know each one has a relative minor. I believe they follow in a specific order. i.e: 123451 or 234512, or 451234, etc. I dont know how to use them... though I think I am starting to...

@GrooveMaster- using them in my bass lines. Using them to construct a bass line. As it is now, I figure out the chord progression and start with the roots of those, but theres no flow between the chord changes. I could also be crazy and Im playing fine... I just really feel like I should...

@DiabolusInMusic - In a I IV V in C, the IV is F, a note which we're omitted. Or, once we switch to the F Major, do I switch the positioning of my forms to fit F now?

So I need to replace an input on a rouge bass. Will any old input do or do I need a specific one? Thanks!

the guy just had a kid and the baby sitting bills are killing him. With this shift, he wouldnt have to pay and would make his money back in less than a year. Normal circumstances? The shift isnt worth much.

So heres the deal: a buddy of mine is offering to buy me any bass I want under $2000 dollars if I skip my seniority and let a shift he really wants fall to him. Under certain circumstances, I might have to pay back ~40% of the cost to him. But thats not for you to worry about! What bass...
