Vic Wooten by far...he is the Eddie Van Halen of the Bass

I agree...try the Elixir coated mediums pretty good and can take a lot of wear and tear.

Hey, I'm new and just wanted to say hey to everyone...been playing bass for 22 yrs now. Focus primarily on slap bass and bass tapping. This site looks cool and I look forward to chatting with all y'all.

I agree...his harmonics alone are amazing!

I'll try to get you some tabs listed here...but until then try slapping some octaves. That's pretty beginner until you can get smooth doing it. Slide into the top octave with your first finger hitting it with the side of your thumb and then pop the octave below it in a fast muffled type sound...

I'm thinking of buying a Schecter 5-string with a bassball effects pedal...anyone know anything about Schecter Basses?

This link is Vic Wooten on YouTube playing "Amazing Grace" with a lot of harmonics...I know he's gotta be using an effects pedal to get 'em that low. Notice how he's getting the harmonics from the low G and low C notes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEyEu-hS0fA

I can get the harmonic sound out of the bass from just doing it naturally, what I wanted was something to bring out the harmonics from the 3rd and 4th fret...

What is the best pedal to get that harmonic "chime" from my bass?
