This thread was moved from "Bad Dog Cafe." Sorry, I forgot there was a Bass place here. SI8e I listened to some of your stuff, you got it down tight. Sounds good, real good. Actually I do those things your talking about, I place me thumping hand in different positions on the body of the bass, and I do get the feel I usually am looking for. I'm just kind of wanting to experiment, I am also thinking of a decent effects box, and I know some of you probably shy from this, and I understand, ts better to feel it than to copy it. Actually I am a standup bassist from the heart, I learned to play on a Bass fiddle. I use to jam with a guy in highschool, many moons ago, and he was an excellent musician, he played piano like a dream. He would play boogie woogie, rock and roll solos on the piano and I would pound away on that bass fiddle in the music room, and it was a great feeling. To me there is nothing better than playing a bass fiddle and jamming with a piano player playing the boogie woogie, man it sure was fun. And everyone loved listening to it, that was the best part, knowing that others liked it. I like electric also, but my tastes are changing. I've owned a few Basses in my life time. The one I have now is a washburn, an older model, but it has a decent sound. And it plays decent, has a nice long neck on it, and it feels like a bass. Not my best choice for a Bass. But, it gets me by. I bought it on the cheap, did some work on it. I may get me a standup bass sometime in the future. I've also considered the electric standup basses, anyone have any ideas on these, they may be just like the fretless basses only standup and not resting on your lap. I've noticed some people are going for the shorter neck basses these days, but I couldn't get use to a short neck, it just wouldn't feel right. Thanks for info. I'll check out some of the ideas you have.
