Thanks so much for this video. I planned ong transcribing this tune as my audition piece for the jazz program at UNCG. I checked your site and found the tune transcribed already. You're awesome!
@AndyCaru I'm using Velvet Animas these days, though at times I've been very discouraged by their quality control. Grenadier uses a Velvet Anima on the G string and Helicores on EAD. So good call tonally.
now can you do it with just one finger just like Oscar and all those old cats used to?... na... just kiding... i gotta work with my two fingers playing myself... good sound, good intonation, good frasing and swinging... wish i could improvise that way... i might just look for you if i ever go to New York... cheers mate... ^_^
@alisanchazz Thanks so much! When walking, I do tend to use my second finger exclusively (middle finger) except on super up tempos. And for soloing to a certain speed of eighth note...but for this one with the string crossings, definitely a 2 finger job for me! Man, those guys like OP got a nice big woody sound...at the same time, everything was setup different than the basses of today with gut strings and all and wouldn't work if you want to play a funk line. If you're ever in NYC, look me up!

Very nice man! What kind of strings do you use? Are they like Grenadier's set up or what?
Thanks
