I was expecting something like microtonal quaternote chromatics or third-note chromatics 😀 But why not? This would also be fun to use in a walking bass...
@@JonathanChapman I actually start to seriously use such microtonal chromatic scales in song-writing in a bluesy or swing feeling context. But I have no clue of double bass, I play fretted instruments with much smaller fretboards and piano. I just recently noticed when transcribing the bass line of an old Louis Armstrong / Duke Ellington recording of "It don't mean a thing" that first, they bassist was the best of all, and second, that at one point he might have played some stuff which could be interpreted as a quaternote, used as a passing note instead of staying twice on F# before going to G. I was wondering, whether this was intended.
@@君子ロベルト thanks for the insight! You’re inspiring me to dig into this. There’s no doubt that sliding up the fingerboard while plucking has been an often-used effect on the double bass. I think whether it was intentional or not would be hard to determine, but looking at it under a microscope would be fascinating.
Yo that transition off the bat. Martin Scorsese over here

Oh yeah I play those all the time 😆 and it’s always completely intentional! 🫣
