Bass-tardising

Recommended Posts

I've always liked to try out different ways to experiment with my basses including using just 4 strings, all the same gauge but tuned differently, mixing up flatwounds and roundwounds, downtuning all strings to several notes below standard tuning and pulling the strings up and letting go to get a 'thwacking' sound and using them like a hammered dulcimer. I don't always get a great sound TBH so has anyone else got any suggestions for getting interesting noises

Try extracting loads of those little widgets from inside Christmas cards that play carols, and sellotape them to squirrels.

Careful, that sounds an awful lot like art. Aren't you meant to be an entertainer...
