Well this is me playing along to the live version of Ball And Chain by Janis Joplin. Probably my favorite song by her actually, and it's a nice slow blues to play to. So tell me what you think. It's a 1970 Fender Jazz through a Crate BT100, Fender flatwound strings.

Wow, i never thought a j-bass would sound that good with flatwound strings on it. I got a '75 and it sounds killer with roundwounds. I'll try flats someday. Nice bass playing btw. Cheers!

tabs?
5123963 9 months ago
@5123963 Sorry, but no. It's a 6/6 blues in (I believe) F# minor. So besides that, it's improvised, I didn't use a tab.

@hitopsful Well, this video's pretty old, so I don't know exactly what I was using then, but I still use the same amp, so I set my knobs like so:
Lows: 3 o'clock, Low-Mids: 5 o'clock, High-Mids: 11 o'clock, Highs: 10 o'clock
Part of it is also the strings, I was using Fender flatwounds in this video, so they're a lot smoother than roundwounds. Now I play with Fender nylon tapewounds, best strings ever if you're looking for a nice warm, smooth tone.

@12345JJBB You wouldn't be impressed, my fretting hand has awful technique haha.
