Well, Ricks are classic instruments like Fenders (quality costs), but more suitable for rock. And they look really cool too. But for allround bass, ill recommend a jazz bass
to snapshot: No, not in this exercise, but i could have done the plucking on the a string with doublethumb up stroke and getting almost the same sound. I do that sometimes
to comeruk: Most muting to stop strings from sounding when they're not supposed too, happens in left hand, but i nocited that my forarms underside lightly touches the e and a string when playing the higher strings, so its a yes (just found out actually in connection to your q).
My father is trying to learn this lesson, but I don't know if he get. He says that you are very good, and a good teacher too. I'd liked see my father play as you. I want to learn play the base. My father try to teach me. Best Regards from Valencia (Spain). Happy Christmas!
Hey MarloweDK, got a question for you - is it me, or are Rickenbackers overpriced in relation to the their sound quality? What I mean is that all your funky stuff have sounded far better on your fender j-basses, even your p-bass so I'm wondering whether they're worth that price tag. Thanks By the way, I'm not a bass player - planning to get into it when time and cash permit - and I'm looking around for bass sounds, styles, instruments, musicians etc.
continuing with my not bothering the you tube bass gods, i am requesting nearly any betty davis song. larry graham played bass on most of them so they all juicy, "get in there" has a nice itty bitty lil solo in it, "your my man "is a bouncy funk masterpiece, i cant even put into words how great of a track"come take me " is, it just sounds like a fun bass line to play ( if Your actually good) which you are. i thank you in advance for your consideration.
Great!!! I love face the best! Totally stone cold groovin! He never even looks down. That bass is just like another arm on his body! Looks cool, sounds better! Yeah, this made me grab my bass too!!!
sweet marlowe! i was wondering when we were gonna see black rickey again.( i've taken the liberty of naming all your basses for you, your welcome!haha) i try not to bother the youtube bass gods, but i'm dying for a cover of betty davis' anti love song PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE daddy!

That's a nice technique to practice. Cheers mate.

to mal: I have 3 Betty Davis albums lying around somewhere, ill look into it...
A hint: I think thats odd that lots of people dont look at the channel info before asking questions
Marlowe, man you are great!!!!

Nice lesson - cheers.

Thanks!
