  On my acoustic Kala I've used all of the different non metallic strings and the Thunderbrowns feel and sound better than the others. On my solid body U-bass Subs I like the metallic strings.

  8:10 Look at JJ's pinkie, he plays a D (10th fret) instead of a C# as the last note of the riff. Also weird he takes credit for the main riff, Tommy Cogbill plays it on the record...

  This isn't as easy as it looks. Those ghost notes and the D-A section is hard to play cleanly. At least for me. It's a great song to practice ghost notes and muting. That's for sure.

  Thanks for the video! My pinky wasn't terrible and doing this even a few times has helped. How important is it to keep the first finger down? I don't think my hands are that small but it's very difficult for me.

• 
  @GregsBassShedКүн бұрын

  To be honest, if you can keep all fingers as near as possible to the fretboard, you'll be able to play more accurately and faster but just do what you can do!

  Good comparison. From how it sounds in the video, I like the flatwound better, it has a thicker and more defined classic bass sound. As for the Tapewound, it loses sub-bass frequencies and adds a click that sounds very plastic to me. I don't like this last aspect at all, but it's a matter of individual taste. Buena comparación. Por cómo suena en el video, me gusta más el flatwound, tiene un sonido de bajo clásico más grueso y definido. En cuanto al tapewound, pierde frecuencias de subgraves y agrega un clic que suena muy plástico para mí. No me gusta este último aspecto en absoluto, pero es una cuestión de gusto personal.

  Listening with AKG K240 (55 ohm) headphones to be sure to hear the low end vs the laptop speakers. To me, the tape wounds have a little bit of a buzz to them. Like fret buzz, but no where near that bad. It's very subtle. Thanks for doing the side by side playback and making each sample short. It makes hearing the transitions easier to hear (for me anyhow). Thanks for doing this for us!

  Here is the secret - use software to slow down the song and at the same time raise an octave. It will sound more like a guitar line. Then get your guitar out (instead of a bass) and figure out the line. Slow down as much as needed. If you play along this way, you will hear any wrong notes easily, like if you hit a bad note on a guitar lead playthrough.
