just my double thumbing style, thinking "pick" style, like a country guitar player.

  • do you have original pickups?

  • @lucfan All is original, never changed a pickup in my life by the way

  • oh marlowe...u are easily the best bass teacher on youtube, with the tightest playing and the best funk taste. your breakdown of 'Up the Creek' helped me finally solve my all-time favorite bassline. How about u list the bassist when you do the playalongs, when they are somebody different (eg when its not Rusty Allen on a Sly track , when its presumably Billy Bass Nelson on those Tempts tracks etc etc)

    But in any event I don't think your technique will be surpassed on here. Well done.

  • Thx, but often i dont know the names of the original bassists on the playalongs.

    And remember that the playalongs is the bassline as i heard it at that time - for example, i dont KNOW that there is doublethumbing on "up the creek", but thats the way i could get the feel right:-)

  • I'd have the click much lower in the mix or absent entirely. It really detracts from your playing, which does groove.

  • the motion of the hand coming in sideways like slapping then suddenly plucking down with the thumb makes absolutely no sense to me. i know you are doing it but i can't get my head around it.. like your hitting your thumb towards the string but you are actually doing a downward motion. i guess i am not meant to learn this lol.

  • FUUUUU!!! My thumb and other fingers too short :((

  • 19 people are eating there nails a bit to much i guess

  • did you ever wanted to expand to duble plucking????

  • I have been playing slap pop jazz bass for thirty years and feel like I am mediocre however I just can't get this double thumb sound any advice regarding teachers in NY NJ area?

  • @MarloweDK

    u'd better had to

  • crap chorus transistor synthetic bee sound

  • FENDER JAZZ BAZZ!!!!!!!!
