    Imperfect Realism or Fabricated Perfection - which would you rather hear?

    Thanks for all the comments. One of the main themes of the album is self-acceptance and honesty -so when the tech mentionned that we could paste together the best parts I wasn't quite sure if that's what I want to do... The songs being solo bass pieces is a new and major challenge for me...

    Imperfect Realism or Fabricated Perfection - which would you rather hear?

    Bass Lessons - Slap Bass Technique

    I haven't really thought about trying to get Jaco's tone with thumb picking. The tone of the attack is very different from fingerstyle because on down stokes it's a fleshy part of the thumb hitting the string and on upstrokes part thumbnail and part side of the thumb - so you get a different...

    Bass Lessons - Slap Bass Technique

    I've been asking myself the same question about how to notate string muting. In developing my Link Removed technique, I've been experimenting with 4 different approaches for muting i.e. left hand fingers, left hand thumb, right hand thumb and right hand palm. I have yet to find an...
