Tuning's not great, but nice tone.

Man, that's awesome, definitely adding this to my favorites! It even works for some more unusual or lesser known bands that I'm in to. Cheers for the link.

Speaking of DB players, Christian Mcbride: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZ2UomKctPs"]Joshua Redman - Blues on Sunday[/url] The whole rhythm section is smoking on this one!

Some great vids here, love the Paul Jackson/Mike Clark one, shame about the audio quality. Also Richard Bona: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jjGvSIXzms"] Richard Bona - Bass Solo [/url] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fibw2Xpfmo&feature=related"] Richard Bona Groovin' [/url]

Hey man, that's awesome, definitely feelin' it!

If you watch the whole video, he does actually switch back to the regular method. Maybe it's just the need to be different?

Yeah that's awesome. I actually prefer this vid though: Maybe it's cos i'm a jazzer.... and i'm a sucker for footprints Also, usually i really like steve, but in these videos there's too much reverb on his bass for my tastes...

Can you give us some idea of the prices?[/quote] +1, would be interested in what kind of prices these will go for. I'm guessing that the site is still under construction as some of the links don't seem to work for me?

[quote name='The Funk' post='465789' date='Apr 18 2009, 01:05 AM']Come on, dude. Steve Bailey's the man! And I meant playing indoors, onstage at night with sunglasses on. [/quote] Yeah, i love steve, i was trying to show just how important intonation is. Just ask a random woman on the street.

[quote name='The Funk' post='465732' date='Apr 18 2009, 12:15 AM']Take your sunglasses off. Poor intonation is not cool. I had to learn that hard way. [/quote]

While slapping, the majority of the muting will happen in your left hand. What I sometimes do is hook my thumb over the neck when slapping the higher strings to help mute the lowest string. I'm not familiar with the track you mentioned, but maybe this will help? I found this on youtube: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inhRXhZ7sXE"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inhRXhZ7sXE[/url]

Thanks, I was searching for "excelsior golden strad" and getting nothing . Still couldn't find much on the price, is £740 decent? It just sounds a bit much to me (for a laminate), but I'm not really sure as this will be my first double bass. Cheers.
