[font=Arial]Just an opinion, but I think a ramp is a bit of a pointless gimmick. [/font]

[font=Arial]Your technique should be good enough to make a ramp superfluous, and you should be able to play hard or soft without hooking your fingers under the strings anyway.[/font]

it'not a matter of good or bad technic, it's just improve the right hand technique and allow to play with a lighter touch and increase shades in the bass "voice" , and chords technics to play latin grooves.. at least to me. i play jazz and try to expand the chords technic in my playing.
