    Newbie question on Willis "Fingerboard Harmony"/Passing Tones

    Newbie question on Willis "Fingerboard Harmony"/Passing Tones

    Hi, Ive just bought "Fingerboard Harmony" and I'm scalping my head trying to figure this out; "Passing tones is a note played on a weak beat that is a whole step or less from the notes before and after it" But at 4/4, lets say I'm on C on the 5th fret/G string on beat 1 and I want to go down...

    Building a 6 string fretless bass from scratch?

    First of all, thank you for ur reply. By mentioning GHS groundwounds you mean the GHS pressurewound, I found GHS has set only up to 5 strings, the M7200-5 Medium 36.5" winding. So what do u use for ur C string? I like the sound of Carl Thompson Rainbow bass, so I think of a pair of EMG + the...

    Some advice for a newbie on supplying power to a pedalboard please.

    I'm a total novice. I've found lots of info on pedal power suppliers but I don't think they apply to my case. I have all the power adapters of my few pedals: a EBS microbass II, a DOD FX-25b and a Roland TU-12 tuner along with a Boss ME-8B multi-FX where I want to use all its FX rather than...

    Double Bass Need help. "Bass with deep scratches and lots of chipping in a hot humid place"

    I'll be moving to Jakarta City/Indonesia - a extremely hot humid rainy place with super cold air-conditioning predominantly used everywhere (cars, venues, houses, etc). The finishing of my bass is hurt and scratched. Some small inches of wood are exposed without finishing on the body here and...
