3V17C Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 ok so ages ago i saw some vid of an American bass player, black dude, playing a Spector i think, with really odd technique where he has his bass well high and his right hand reaches up from under the body playing kinda upside down..... you've probably seen him before on youtube etc, but i can't for the life of me remember his name or seem to find him on google.... cheers C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leftyhook Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 That's just silly. I bet he developed that technique jut to show off on youtube. I mean, who would grow a white beard just to rest on their chest while playing guitar? Pardon? Bass player?..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gust0o Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I guess it's one of those things. If you approached a bass, without knowing how you were [i]supposed[/i] to hold it, I imagine his cradling would be reasonably intuitive. It reminds me of the an old rifle sling. There are quite a few videos on Youtube where he explains how his style developed, well worth a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_bass5 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I think there was a thread about this guy on here recently, unless there's more than one player who plays like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leftybassman392 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Jimmy Haslip? Plays lefthanded but strung upside down. Awesome player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgsjx Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Has he looked at himself playing that bass? He looks like he has "special needs". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
