    Double Bass ed safranski technique.

    I'm curious to hear anyone's opinions on his right hand form. I found a good example here: he swiches between sort of a non-slapped rockabilly style and a more "traditional" jazz technique. discuss.

    Double Bass right thumb wrapping the finger board

    is this normal? whenever I play (sitting or standing) I find it gives me much more leverage than simply keeping my thumb in my palm (count to 4 with your fingers, you'll see) I play unamped and unmiced usually, with extremely light strings. with a new bass on the way that will be used in...

    the new Stick

    I'm either going to use a trad. bridge, or find something with a little less action. maybe an inch or two shorter ;) and I think a clear varnish would be killer. btw, sorry about being 7 years late, i'm only 16. not new to TEH INTERNETZ tho, so no excuses. thanks for knocking some...

    the new Stick

    should i just go and paint it? i feel slightly... dissapointed with the responses. any ideas on colour?
  16. J

    the new Stick

    files will be used.just a rough idea for now and yes i figure to play it, maybe a different bridge concept and no drugs influenced this, just shear bordom :P no really, dont hate. no poison darts, just a failed pickguard

    I did it

    congrats, you won't be sorry. pics when you get it yeah?

    the new Stick

    yes, it is that legendary. plenty of character and about 8 failed pickguard designs, the Stick is almost ready for action, the AYBBTU ensignia and a terrible drawing make for a semi cool bass. went from this: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] to this: "All Your Bass Are Belong To Us"...

    thumb rests.

    oh ok, thanks. so its mostly for making it look old/tug bar? cool.
  23. J

    thumb rests.

    this has always bugged me. why are thumb rests always placed where your thumb isnt? for those having trouble keeping up I mean like this: Invalid Link Removed . it may look cool, but i've never understood the purpose of it being there. shouldn't it be up near the E string? or is it a way of...

    The Official De-Fretted Thread!

    i would use the wipe on, because the wood won't deform or groove that fast, you just need to fill in the grooves left by the frets. the epoxy will make it much faster-and glossier- which means a faster board. so epoxy that suckha!

    The Official De-Fretted Thread!

    For all of you who have ripped those speed bumps out of your fingerboard, this club is for you. This is slightly different from the fretless club due to the fact that at one point, these basses were fretted, and they were ripped or "jaco-modded" and then re filled/shilacked with wood glue in my...

    combo w/ external head?

    hey, I was just wondering if you could plug an amp head into the imput of a combo amp, and have the combo act as a cab? I plan on using an old Yorkville 1x12 Combo (w/ vol, treb,mid,bass,imput,power) and purchasing a Acoustic B200H amp head (the 200 watt one) would this work? JazzEADG
