    F/T Fretless unlined SR4 for a fretted SR4

    in Basses For Sale

    Posted · Edited by wal4string

    Any interest in a trade for a fretless unlined SR4 for a fretted SR4. Been trying to trade my fretless neck for a fretted to no avail. Swapped original neck for a Status fretless neck. As I rarely play the fretless was wondering if anybody was up for a trade. Intend to keep the Status neck for as and when I need to play fretless. Bass as new condition (never gigged) in natural Maple semi gloss finish. If any interest will post images.
    Only interested in trade for an SR4 Natural/Maple or a 4 string Status Classic 4 string headless. 1997 model with one previous owner.

    Open Strings??

    in Theory and Technique

    Posted

    Open strings should be used as and when needed and never overlooked when playing a riff that requires a large shift of position, if an open string can be used to make a change of position smoother.
    I have included a PDF file which demonstrates this. It so happens that the two examples are very similar but these are the only two transcriptions I could think of where the open string could be used in this way.. Both are Stevie Wonder songs so it could be that is why they are similar. I am also aware my explanation of playing in position deserves a better explanation if I have not made myself 100% clear.

    One final note, why not play an open string with the same note fretted or even alternating between the two, mute one and play the other etc.etc.

    Nice one Jake. Thanks for this.

    I am not sure how it can be just me but, transcription page doesn't show properly, I can only presume that if yoy used tables to write the page then they are somehow overlapping.
    The buttons are sitting ontop of the text. I checked the page with IE and Chrome and they are the same. I can send you a screen snapshot if you want so you can see the problem.

    Double Thumbing - nice starter riff?

    in Theory and Technique

    For me double thumbing is just too awkward. The Mark King left hand slap is a far better in my opinion, a bit of a brain bender to begin with but works fine in the end. Check out Stuart Claytons Transcriptions of the Level 42 songs to see how he does it. Love Games is a good starter.
