BassBalls Jam

[cursedswordsman]

Why the dislikes? This video is great! Also, can I ask you what your muting technique is?

[travatron4000]

@cursedswordsman I'm actually not doing a lot of muting in this one but the little I do is all left hand muting. Lightly touching the string next to the fretting finger.

[minusjason]

I have the same bass, except the finish on mine is more red. Thing's a dream, isn't it?

[c24253994]

WHY THERE WERE 18 DISLIKE?! HIS BASSLINE IS AWESOME!!!!

[x666Caboose999x]

[crazy4blues]

I actually like the playing, but the tone is not that great. I'm supporting you, though. Don't let the hatas getcha down!

[panque1000]

[kabanosi]

[travatron4000]

@kabanosi It's the Bass line for "Rappers Delight"

[BASSment7al7]

@kabanosi Originally, that bass line was from 'Good Times' by Chic, such a tune!

[kabanosi]

[OtakU0111]

I like it a lot :-)

[kam3kaz33]

[PaulProGuitar]

haha..balls

[t00lhippie93]

you should invest in a fretless warwick, it would sound way sicker

[fateupagainstyourwil]

rappers delight

:)

[uppywards]

that sounds awesome with the bassballs it adds a nice sound to the bass

[PowerSlave1094]

i had an old SX jazz.. its a shame i got rid of it. at the time, i didnt realize actually how good they are for the price

[happyslappysoong]

Great stuff man. Few questions...where'd you get the custom gold hardware (bridge, Control Plate, tuners) to fit the SX?

and also, whered you get the sweet pickguard to fit an SX jazz? These are my dilemmas right now. Thanks heaps!

[travatron4000]

That's all stock. The way it came from Rondo. I dont know if he still sells them like that. I've noticed that his stock fluxuates quite a bit.

[FlipperBabies470]

is that one of the SX basses with the shorter scale?

[travatron4000]

No, it's a standard 34" scale. I'm just tall and skinny.

[FlipperBabies470]

Haha yea that could help mask the size of it.

[joeyguitarlo]

@FlipperBabies470 I have a short scale 30 inch neck sx fretles bass. YOu can see the video at my youtube page.

[NekoNoMaru]

You on TalkBass?

-Jimmy Bones

[travatron4000]

yeah i am, though i havent been there much lately

[travatron4000]

the clip was more to showcase the BassBalls for those interested in it than to show the skills, it was all off the cuff. thanks for the +s though

[PROGRESSO88]

i love the hardware gold, lol.

[djicebling]

the finish on ur bass is sick.

[Aussietuga]

I can hear some Gabriel o Pensador in there... :p

[Toranaga1543]

i think the metronome was only for orientation. do what amuses you!

i can hear another bites the dust :)

[easybill41]

Very nice SX! The gold hardware makes it look like a million bucks.

But I agree. You didnt follow the metronome well enough. But that can be fixed, easily.

[Jixton]

Nice but you should try to play slowly and follow the metronome more.

Nice clip.
