This is very cool, so much better than a lot of the slap bass vids that have a lot of crazy-fast clicking with little actual musicality -- often way out-of-tune and terrible sounding. I think I can do most of what you're doing, but you have a thing about 1:20 I'm not sure about. Those fast notes: are you playing them with individual fingers of your RH? Anyway, my congrats on this, I know that offbeat stuff is not easy. I've spent hours on it esp. latin beats. (Why do we do this?? har har)
this is a true thing that happens! its not a chain letter! its kinda scary at first but it really works!! paste this message into 3 comments and press ALT F1 and your crushes name will appear on the screen!!! its soo wierd! wow
Are they gut? Please could you tell me how much they are? Sorry, for the inconvenience, but I don't have a bass yet, I just really would like one and I like the sound of gut strings as opposed to steel ones.
No, they are steel strings. They are made by a company called Thomastik. The model is Spirocore Weichs. Some companies do make gut strings, I think LaBella is one.
Yea there are a number of places im sure u can find gut strings. Now you can also find synthetic strings, Im currently using Obligato strings, by pastorius, they are a synthetic gut string but steel wrapped, so you can dig in really well and not kill you fingers.
Astonishing Hinton-esque right hand technique. To be honest, your left hand seems unsure at times as does the timing -- but only slightly. Work on that and you'd be monstrous.
This is a great pleasure to see such a player on the double bass .
