      I really want to buy your Signature Bass from Sweetwater. I have some questions. I am conflicted can you help me out. Should I pay for their "Sweetwater Pre-Ship Pleking"? What are you thoughts. Also, do you have a good matching Hardcase suggestion? And if I change the strings what would you recommend I mainly mess around alone. Many styles. I lean heavily toward the Victor Wooten, Marcus Miller, Jaco, Berthoud. Camp.

    I've been wanting to have a shot at learning this one for years, but never managed to work out what techniques were going on and where. This tutorial is exactly what I was looking for!! As a long time bassist who's already spent far too long trying to get down my double thumb, double pluck, left-hand slap etc., I've never quite got this style of tapping + strumming down. This is just what I needed to try and take my slap to another level, with a really good breakdown of all the magic Victor's doing on the track. Now (with a little more practice), there's a chance I *Can* Hold No Groove!!

    I've seen Victor with the Flecktones 10 times. Met him and got his autograph on the ticket stub almost every time. I even saw him break a string during Sinister Minister and keep going. Everyone single time he left me with my jaw on the floor and considering quitting music.

    Kidding aside, this is an awesome tutorial - ive been chipping away at this song for years and can see why I’m so stuck, and likely would not improve since I’ve had the technique mostly wrong.
    Would love to see future videos on creative uses of harmonics and how to really nail things like in this song where you simultaneously play a bass note along with multiple harmonics and get them all to ring out so nicely!

    Having a 21 frets 4 strings bass, my solution to the 1st phrase's tapped G string's 24th fret is just to play the natural harmonic on the G string's 5th fret.
    Nevertheless, I do agree that it sound much more fun to just add a small fun lick instead though.

  • @GuyVogel
    @GuyVogel Місяць тому

    Berthoud's Signature bass has a defective bridge finish. When adjusting the intonation and bridge saddles the paint finish separates, chips and peels just by the use of a screwdriver or allen key. The chips from the paint fall into the pocket area of the bridge. Secondly, this is an indication of possibly using only one coat of paint with or without a primer. Also, the painted bridge was most likely not correctly timed during the heat transfer process so to properly harden making it one monolithic piece. Chances are the painted bridge was not put under a heating exchange prcess at all. This will definitely cause more peeling in the near future by normal use. The other possibility due to poor paint adherence is from a mixture of poor quality metals that make up the bridge. In any event, the paint application is a result of poor quality. It is unfortunate that an artist has to experience something as described above on their musical instrument especially when purchasing it brand new. Schecter has to step up and take responsibility for this as it cannot be an isolated case. In short, a primer is applied first then several coats of a top paint are applied and then the next step is a hardened sealant to protect the layers of paint. For years of duration to follow it must be baked for a specified amount of time. This is not the case here. Shame on Schecter for poor quality control.
