@cookiemonster3475 In this video, he's definitley doing that to mute the strings, a la Rocco Prestia, that's what gives it that kind of Motown-ish sound. You can acheive a similar sound by palm muting with your right hand or putting a peice of foam under the strings by the bridge.

@clewi1091 It's most common on Fender Guitars. Like Stratocasters. Due to the shape of the headstock and how it's made, you usually see those things. It's mainly for helping keep the string from popping out of the nut as well as, I'm sure it helps with keeping the gutiar in tune. ;)

Actually it's alot easier to keep your fingers together because it allows you to bar the strings easier, allowing you to transition from each string faster and smoother, very simple bass line though.

@saiko189 its a muting technique i think
-
Wow,that was good,sounded good too!
-
@saiko189 That's because he uses his index finger to fret the note and the other three to mute it.
-
knowing that those are flat wounds, its amazing he didn't move his fingers apart the whole time..
-
the string trees keep all strings tight up against the post..and equal tension on all four strings... add one, you'll dig it...
-
@JazzBassist66 i notice it has 2 string trees. is that normal on these basses or is one added? im guessing one was added. what would be the big advantage of having 2? do you know? thanks for any info.
-
Yup, those are flats. Fantastic tone!
