yes another post in techniques forum for me.. a quick one..when you slap...how do you personally mute..lets say on a 4...do you use alot of palm damping for the whole lot or do you use your thumb for the E or if you play five the B..like to hear your thoughts... any vids to show your kind of technique are welcome.. all the best..

[quote name='leftybassman392' post='736666' date='Feb 5 2010, 09:05 PM']I assume you mean places to find harmonics? Not a chart (and with due apologies) but.... Easiest way is to start with open strings.. 12th fret gives an octave; 7th fret a fifth above that; 5th fret a second octave; 4th fret a third above that (also available at 9th fret); 3rd fret a fifth... Going the other way, 16th fret a third, 19th fret a fifth, 24th an octave... For fretted notes just add the fret number to the above.[/quote] yes i do mean this...but.....i know where to find them and play them...tis how i tune my bass.....i just would like a chart that shows me all the notes that they make.(saves my lazy fingers having to work them all out in a chart of my own)..thanks Lefty..

Hey Jack... well i found Dave Marks's site very informative..he's a BC'er too.not sure what his (BC handle is)...real pro..i spotted a few of his lessons on you tube...im not sure if his site is free...for the info he gives it shouldnt be.....there is soo much on the net..i think you may find the best sources for good lessons are pay sites but i may be wrong..here on BC is a great source....are you after a video type lesson by lesson? i learned theory from a book which was a pain in the arse because you havent got any one to ask if your thoughts are right or wrong...my best advise is to trawl the internet for a free teach yourself bass site...go through it maticulously, when you get stuck with any aspect of it, ask someone on here...if you have been playing for a while you may not be struggling with technique so much.. if you cant afford a teacher, you can achieve lots and lots on the bass with books, vids, internet..

hi...does anyone know of a chart diagram that shows all of the harmonic notes on the fret board? thankyou...

i used to like Elites. :wacko: .until i played a bass with DR fat beams on it...just superb strings (and no you dont sound like MM)...the best IMO...i may go for high beams next and rub some butter on them..

FT: Kramer Focus 7000 (Japcraptastic Pbass Special)
bubinga5 replied to jonsparrow91's topic in Basses For Sale
[quote name='spaz91' post='729352' date='Jan 30 2010, 12:15 AM']Once again I'm getting rid of a bass that I've barely had :S Agreed to trade for this in the first place because I really wanted to try a precision bass. They're good but not my cup of tea really. The Kramer is essentially a passive precision bass deluxe: Precision pup and Humbucker, v/v/t, 3 way selector and phase switch for the humbucker. The precision pup sounds like you'd expect, one flip of the switch makes the humbucker sound a little weedy (great blended with the P) but flip again and you get a great growly bite. Its got a few signs of wear but its pretty good for a bass thats older than me. Its an early eighties bass and like most of that time it is very solid. Body and headstock are gloss black and the neck is rosewood. I'm not too interested in selling but I'm open to cash offers. As for trades, I'm looking for something active and/or something with a maple neck. Warwick Rockbasses and the like.[/quote] You will get much more interest with pics bro.... -
for any one who digs Stevie..im a die hard fan and dont usually like covers..but this double album is very very good...Minnie Ripperton, Sergio Mendez, Ramsey Lewis, Gene Harris, Jose Feliciano are a few that do the originals justice.. the double album is called 'The Wonder of Stevie' this is a taste of a couple...one from guitarist master man.... Norman Brown...Too High...this guy can play the guitar like a mofo...!! [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6TJyGJyTKE"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6TJyGJyTKE[/url] second from Carl Anderson..Buttercup..written by Stevie, performed originally by tha Jackson 5...

[quote name='Chris2112' post='727793' date='Jan 28 2010, 04:42 PM']I love Overwater's custom stuff, but these jazz copies are looking a little tired...as is the whole "super jazz" thing for me now![/quote] i love em Chris, but it does get to a point when a 'Jazz bass" or super Jazz is not really being true to the original theme...My Sei is a jazz (shape) but its not really a jazz in tone...My Fender CS, now thats a Jazz bass..

[quote name='Linus27' post='728160' date='Jan 28 2010, 09:58 PM']I have an ESP Jazz bass that has some Bartolini pickups in. They were fitted new around 1989. Is there anyway to work out which ones they are? Looking at the website, the Jazz ones all look the same Anyway to identify which model of Bartolini pickups they are?[/quote]Prob the originals..in either single or split.....would like to hear others in the know, as i have them in my Sei and they kick ass!! they do a CB range i think?

[quote name='krispn' post='723575' date='Jan 24 2010, 09:24 PM']With much respect all for sale basses must be posted with a price, as per the amendment to the conditions of posting, so if you could do us all a favour and add that to the title it would be very helpful and save you from any more irritating questions. I do hope you appreciate my candour.[/quote]Hes already put a price in his post.

[quote name='deathpanda' post='723494' date='Jan 24 2010, 08:19 PM'][url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ft_bFqS5K8w"]Slap doesn't have to sound tinny[/url], people just have to actually think about their tone instead of just plugging an expensive bass into an expensive amp rig, thinking "it must sound good". He obviously cares more about technique than tone and musicality (in this video, at least).[/quote] I assure you Dave Dyson does not just care about technique,..the guy is a groove monster and one of the best in the world...A pro like him doesnt just plug in an expensive bass with thinking about his tone.......like you said just this clip..
