heyyy very good your lesson bass listen the colombian salsa, listen the HIT OF THE BASS thanks !!! saludos desde colombia con todo el sabor latino un abrazo bye!!!!
what about a fretless p-bass or fretless j-bass? ive always wanted one of those and salsa bass lines are really fun to play... so fretted or non fretted?
oddly enough I feel fretless doesnt give the thump needed for that upright sound. fretless bass gives more mwah, not the thudd you get from fretted. Plus hey it's way easier to play lol
Hahah,amigo you're a really funny guy.. But you got some great tips and advice man,seriously! :D.. In my group we play salsa with the kickdrums and all that.. But im coming up with a new way to play salsa,a new pattern or something,dont know what to call it really.. But what i do is that i sometimes play the "Piano Tumbao" on the bass,and it gives the salsa a really heavy and modern sound! :D And i always try to put some funk/rock in the salsa patterns now and then also. Some slap here and there
Correction My Brother: The Original Ampeg baby bass was made from a material called UVEXl, Not Fiberglass. I should know I own one for many years and also looked up The Hoistory of the Ampeg bass. Now the lastest ones from Azola, to Ray Ramierez and an anniversary Ampeg Baby Bass that was released a few years ago are made Fiberglass.
Thats a very clear explanation of playing bass and choosing the right snare play and tones. Im dont play any kind of guitar or bass but i got a good ear for music techniques. Thanks for posting yout video.
i hav a question, what kind of strings do you recomment for salsa, roundwound flatwound or nylon tapewound? thanks
