They all sound like a right load of b*llocks compared to the likes of the above... Lovely, lovely bass though. I'm playing it as I type, and I'll be gigging it tonight. Beautiful.

OliverBlackman Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 thing is i don't get with the millions of bass vids on youtube that people put up is they just seem to be playing as many licks as they have at their disposal. Why can't people just come up with a melody and make a song out of it, then put that up instead? The bass sounds very nice though the guys got great technique.

OliverBlackman Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 thats not improvisation thats just noodling around a key centre. Completely un musical to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OliverBlackman Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 kind of like if a comedian was supposed to be doing improv about a subject but just blurted out words that were connected to the subject. Without it being a sentence its just not funny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 Oh - OK. I actually prefer it to most improvisations I hear on youtube. ha ha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bikenbass Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 (edited) Hi WoT, A couple of questions if that's ok? Did the flats require a big change to the truss rod? I put a set of LaBella Deep Talking on my Jazz, got scared by how much the neck bowed and took them off shortly after fitting! Do you still have a wide variation in tones available compared to before fitting flats? I like the tone you have in the vid. deep growling 'E' and yes, I liked the vid, nice one. I'm tempted to try again with flats after seeing this. Regards Mark Edited February 4, 2012 by MSL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Mark [/quote] Hello Mark! I'm flattered, but it's not me in the vid. I just stumbled across it. FWIW, I use La Bella flats on my 70s J, and once the truss is tweaked a little to compensate if necessary, it's fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But first learn every note on the fretboard, learn what notes are avaliable in the key you have selected and use chromatics to add flavour. His playing is just very heavily licked based, so would be easy to emulate if you chose to. I like it up until about 1.04 because he is keeping to one lick and refers back to it, but after that it just becomes a mash up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
