fretmeister Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 I've done a different tune in the EHB Short scale thread already but I thought I'd do another one, this time with just the bridge pickup for that sort of jazz bass bridge tone. As I'm playing in a big band and that's seems to be all I'm playing at the moment that's what you get - a big band arrangement of Stevie Wonder's "Don't you worry about a thing" All tones from a Line 6 Helix. Recorded live using OBS - none of that video then dub a track on top of it nonsense, I ain't got time for that! A green bass with a green screen gives some weird colour effects! Although now I'm wondering if I want the bass to be refinished in a chromaflair paint job! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted November 17, 2021 Author Share Posted November 17, 2021 @Cuzzie Finger recovery is finally getting there! The ramp really helps counter the slight droop and stops me hooking the string too much. Been nearly a year - with lots of therapy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezbass Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Nice! That bridge pickup has some real girth to it, not just the thin and reedy honk that is often offered up. I’m glad you explained the ‘green screen’ effect, as I’d noticed that in the other video and thought it was a cool paint job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m glad you explained the ‘green screen’ effect, as I’d noticed that in the other video and thought it was a cool paint job. If I had money I could have a blue screen as well and then use that to allow the green bass to show up as it really looks, but I don't care that much! It's just a bit of fun. I did one video wearing a bright green jumper. It was far brighter than advertised on t'internet and I never got round to sending it back. My chest and upper arms disappeared completely in the video! I might have to do something with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm told it probably won't get any straighter now but I can build some of the strength back at least. The PIP joint is stiffer / a bit arthritic now as a result of needing to be immobilised for so long to get the tendon to knit but it's also lot better than it was. As long as I can have 10 mins of warming up before playing properly it behaves itself most of the time. I'm very happy to be playing with fingers again. The fear of having to play with a plectrum URGH! Might as well give up and become a guitarist!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
