Fender Jazz Bass and Acoustic B200

Took some advice from guys on www.talkbass.com and focused on keeping my ring and pinky fingers tucked away, and plucking softer with my index and middle fingers. I think it made a huge difference and it set me on the right track. Thanks to everyone!

PS - This is a stock 2008 Fender American Standard Jazz Bass and an Acoustic B200 combo amp.

hey man what are you EQ settings for this tone? I've got a Jbass as well this is a sound im trying to actually dial in, would you be able to provide what the EQ is set as?

[SgtThump]

@smokewitchills Sorry man, but this was a long time ago and I'm no longer playing bass in a band and don't have the amp or the bass. I really can't remember, but I do know I liked it dialed in a little darker with the highs down lower.

Nice groove, man. Now I'm all excited about owning one of these amps.

Btw, why exactly did the fine gents at talkbass tell you to keep your fingers tucked?

[SgtThump]

@VonFett It keeps the other fingers out of the way and I agree it's good technque!

my band is kinda cheap, sometimes we dont use bass and sometimes yes, so do you think that this amp will be loud enough to be used for small to medium venues? We will use it for bass or for vocals. it depends

[SgtThump]

@mrandytherockstar Oh yeah, it's a loud amp. You can easily gig with it. Not sure about vocals, though. It would probably work okay, but not sure how good it would sound.

Black jazz bass + Maple neck = jizzed in my pants

@g0d0fgu1tar To be honest, I think the Acoustic B200 is absolutely KILLER! Great tone and alot of punchy power. There's nothing I didn't like about it.

0:38 did someone step on a cat?

[Thatbasskid477]

Hmm, I just noticed that the Jazz bass looks alot like the Ibanez Black eagle

@SgtThump what scales are you jumping around with in this improv?

[thepumpkinking866]

i have this amp and it's great.. just got an orange ad200 with an obc115 cab and that 200 watts of tube tone goes a looooot further than solid state 200 watts ;)
