dude is weird- I thought I was weird, I'm lefty and have always played righty. Lefty bass with strings reversed? Ive never seen that, I have played lefty basses in righty position just to get different sounds slapping- try it, its a blast!
I won't tell you that this vid was cool because you already knew that. Instead, I want to go right to "bass speak".....I was checking out your thumb in relation to the bass drum rhythm and counterpoints. You play the space in between very well while making sure to maintain the solid "groove" on the '1". I often think like a drummer/timbale/conga player and employ their techniques of timing in my bass playing. It adds snap, crackle and pop to the funk! Go girl!
Trade shows! I've done more than I can remember. Why oh why could it not have been cool stuff like this instead of shows full of of breast pumps, fire extinguishers, replacement hipbones, security cameras, vitamins,etc. etc?
Wow, two of my favourite musicians who always get mistaken for just another YouTube phenomenon in one video! David Haynes, by the way, plays a fantastic traditional drum kit as well.
Lydia...the GRAND DIVA OF BASS FUNK. She would be a HIT a funk concert. She is just beyond awesome in her bass playing and her singing. 10 million stars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
no not tuning, just put the strings in the other way round, so he has his E string where you have your G string, and the A string where your D string is right now, so its reversed stringing ;)
thats a way to fuck up your bass. the tension on where the strings are placed are torqued at a precise caliber when they are designed. The only way you would be able to fit strings around, is if you redesign the bass completely.
i play bass and some bass players per fer the lower e string on the bottom for better control and better power notes i reverse my stings cause i hardly use the g string so i put it on top so its easier to incorporate it in my songs its not unnatural
oh...i can see that it would make some aspects of bass easier like for people who like to play a little higher than most people it would be easier to bend the g string but i guess it would also have its problems
Awesome Funk! Great command of the instrument and awesome ability to know when and where to apply your Mojo! If you get chance check out my Vids and maybe comment if you care to.
Wow... 3 heavyweights together! That Alvin Mills is a monster with the smooth playing on the upside down 4 string. Lydia is the funkmaster. That solo was SICK Lydia!!! DAMN!!! And David Haynes on drumcomputer... what else can I say? GREAT GUYS!!!
What a combination.

some do, comes in hand when you left your bass at home. You could just grab a righty and play it.

I think he's either pulling a Hendrix or a Haslip, depending on how you look at it. He's playing a right-handed bass left-handed and upside-down.
