@watchingvidsforfun11 is correct. Sounds good, but you definitely want to be extremely intentional where and when you place certain parts. Otherwise, you're just running over the entire song for 4 minutes. Might be more fun sometimes, but it doesn't sound very good when playing in a band. Those fills will have a lot more meaning and stand out way more when used sparsely :) Rock on, and God Bless!
I am an active bassist myself, and cant stand to just sit on one note (DULL). I think the best active style bassist I've found is the guy that plays with Robbie Seay. Look up his albums and I think you'll find a guy who likes to keep his fingers moving but is POWERFUL and effective with his choice of notes, fills and timing. Keep it up. Youve got the talent and heart it seems to me, just a little restraint and you'll be SOLID
SWEET BASS! Like 5str version of my geddy lee jazz. Youve given me ideas to further enhance my playing. Patterns are innovative, I can tell you like to compose. If you play live, keep your timing patterns consistent, and go for theme and variation (start simple, add/add/add) and keep the "up the neck" fills to points where the verses/refrain/bridge are free of words. Ive made the mistake of weakening my music by too much "BUSY" and had to back off a bit. But let er fly on the last verse.
Sickk cover bro! A lot of creative improvisations and fill ins!
If I were to suggest some constructive creatism, maybe be a bit more selective as to where you improvise ^^ But, seeing as this is a cover, you had the liberty to do whatever u want
@watchingvidsforfun11 Thanks. I have been working on that as I go along. It's one of the things that is hard to learn and apply because there's so much to do, but less than 4 minutes to do it in.
Let me first start by saying that you got some serious skills...very sweet!...but i would def agree...gotta be more tasteful and more selective with your stuff, especially during verses...you can do alot more stuff as the song builds and gets up...the bridge and following chorus' is where you can def let loose...i play bass similar to you, i'm constantly moving up and down the neck during the song...i'd love if you sent me what you did...uofuman2014@aol.com

Awesome instrument @Panhead912 Any issues with it, I'm looking to buy one before the end of the year to replace my toneless ibanez, its a toss up between a American Deluxe Jazz Bass V Five String, or a Warwick Thumb.
@H4ndleZz There was a little problem with the action, the A string was a bit higher than the others, but that's the only thing, which isn't even a big deal, you get an Allen wrench with it to adjust it. So I would definitely suggest this one. So worth it
@Panhead912 I've played a Thumb since my comment and dont see what people are raving about, its a beautiful instrument but... Played a Jazz but only the four, awesome! I want a five, will have it by the end of the year. Thanks for the reply.
No problem. That was the thing that I worried about when I ordered mine, so I had it shipped to a Guitar Center near me just in case something was wrong, it could be dealt with right then and there, and I couldn't have been blamed for anything.
Well I had been playing bass for a while, but didn't have one of my own. I used to use the church's bass but it got annoying dragging it back and forth when it needed to be there, so I did some research and asking around about what brand to get, and people that I know from hobbyist to pro told me that Fender Jazz was the way to go. So I decided to go big or not at all and chose this one. I wanted a five string so that helped a lot too.
Great! How much did the bass run you if you dont mind me asking?

Not yet, it's been on order
for the past 4 months; while
waitng for it to arrive, I did
my research and while everyone
enjoyed their bass, some did
complain about the humming. Since that thing is so expensive
I just hope I would not run into
that problem. Thanks for replying!!!
byjuu246 1 year ago
Nope. It is completely silent. You can't even tell if it's plugged in or not until you start playing it. Does yours?
Panhead912 1 year ago
Does your bass have
a humming problem
of any kind!?

Panhead912 1 year ago
Yes!!!! What made you decide
to get that specific 5 string bass;
with all the basses to choose
from?
byjuu246 1 year ago
How long did it take
for you to get that
bass? I ordered
one in natural
three months
ago.
byjuu246 1 year ago
@byjuu246 I ordered mine when it said it was on backorder, but it said it was in stock and came in a couple weeks. You like the Natural finish?
