  • MAN,how do you get that crisp tone,do you back off ur lows & mids? when i do that i feel like i lose 2much low end. maybe its just my ears.sometimes i have no trouble gettin it but i just can't maintain it. i've got a decent rig with a line6 basspod pro,a crown 1000wt p/amp.My jazz bass sounds killer on certain presets but some are unusable in a live setting.I'd like 2 find 1 settting i could use all the t[me but i keep chasing the tone. love the riff,but the tone is jammin!

  • Maybe I just suck...but whenever I do the opening riff to this groove (the hammer ons from the 5th to 7th frets on the E, A, and D string) the E string and A string seem to like to have their natural harmonics ring out. Are you muting those strings with your right forearm or something?

  • Yeah, i actually think i am muting with my right forearm

  • man, i noticed you have a lot of jazz basses, i have a standard 4-string jazz and i want a 5-string. Can you tell me if it is inferior in sound that of a 4-string? People tell me a stingray is better sounding than a stingray 5, so i ask, in a jazz bass is it equal?

  • Dunno, havent tried a 5 string for long, but why dont you go to a music shop where they have the same model in both versions and do a A/B test?

see all

  • you should have a fret-less 5 string

  • What kind of direct box or effects do you use to get your sound when your playing slap bass?

    Thanks

  • Danish Thunder!!!

  • oh dear God...this is hot !!! like the riff,like the bass !!! too bad slappin' just won't work out for me XD but i'll dig that sooner or later

  • @iwaslikepfffft well...practice hitting the A string slowly until you can get a clean sound...and if your still having problems you can mute the E string with your thumb(left hand) or your other fingers....if the line isnt too hard.

    but it realy isnt hard if you practice :)

  • i have such a problem slappin with the thumb, i cant hit anything besides the E with it because if i try the A or something i just hit like two strings at a time. any tips on thumb control perhaps? haha, i would appreciate it greatly

  • haha it reminds me of seinfeld
