Ska Bass Lesson: Dave Marks, Skattershot Solo (Part 2 of 3)

Skattershot is a track I wrote for my Style File Column in issue 48 of Bass Guitar Magazine. There's a transcription of it in the magazine and a series of video lessons here on YouTube.

@davemarks Dave, I have the exact same bass but it doesn't as good as yours.

What strings are you using ?

[davemarks]

Hey Man - I use Elxir strings. They sound awesome and they keep sounding great for a long time. :-)

On my own site I'm going to be posting information about the gear that I use and I think I'm gonna post a diagram of my recording signal chain, so you can see everything from my strings to the EQ on my pre amp!

[aikidoka1977]

Love the track, although that diminished lick is really doing my head in, can't seem to be able to play it quickly without having 6 fingers!
