Miss my Babbitt buddy. Babb and I were friends, and we wrote and recorded together. I have his amazing bass on a few songs we wrote together. I miss my friend. Looking forward to seeing him in heaven.
Great tips!!! I've been playing for 31 years and I am a light player, but recently have been playing in a rock band and struggling with speed, THIS is what I needed as a reminder. Thanks!
Yup... Lighter touch... Muting gives the thump Stretching n light touch, combined with breathing to keep the muscles oxygen rich... All especially good for older fingers!!! Bob B. You are missed!
It really is a travesty - Bob worked with Fender for a long time developing the bass, which should have been released as "The Babbitt" signature model. Then Bob passed and we get this. :(

Definitely one of my favourite bass-players....one of those where....the 'notes' you don't play are just as important as the ones you do.
masterclass
Jamerson took is upright bass technique to the electric bass!...
that bass turned into a Sean Hurley signature, I wonder why...?
