Another option is to get some software which splits stems (Logic Pro is perfect, albeit a little bit costly. There also is some free software). It might be considered cheating by some purists, but why not if it does the trick. Sometimes, it’s quite helpful to be able to listen to a bass line separately.

I'd love an 8 string version, but even it i could afford one I don't have a musical opportunity to use it. I hope you manage to find one.👍🏾

Party's over, Dave. Back to work! The complete Jaco Pastorius part to the tune 'Young And Fine' from the 1978 Weather Report album, 'Mr. Gone'. There are a couple of 'Jaco' moments that I have had to approximate. To paraphrase the legendary U.S. Defense Secretary, Albert Nimziki. 'it may not be entirely accurate'. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/young-and-fine-weather-report/

I have an Antiquity 335 which is very good. Not a Chibson but similar on the price.

Maybe we need a beginners corner? where newbies can post newbie questions and not feel embarassed? Maybe find the answer is already there? i’d start with bass covers on YouTube if it were me.

I had that one — it might even be in my 7" singles box in the loft. I can't remember which periodical it was attached to though.

Hey, Nathan here. Been learning Bass about a month, started off with a 2nd hand East Coast MB4, but just upgraded to a Yamaha TRBX74EF PJ Bass and glad I did, its so much nicer to play. I guess I looking to learn a variety of music and songs but can't seem to choose exactly what songs to learn. Hope I can learn alot from this site and use it to motivate me to get better. Cheers.

Just throwing my hat in the ring for this year too. Last year was a really fun day. Any of those dates are options for me.

What I meant was that if you plug in an external footswitch, then you can reassign the main footswitch so it doesn’t cause the problem you mentioned above.

Can you not tap the poles of the A string down a touch? Or alternatively, tap the poles of the other strings up a touch (though you would have to take the pickup / scratch plate off to do that)? Even though they aren't screw poles, surely they can be adjusted.
