help: need to play bass & keep finger nails - TalkBass.com
2007年1月6日 · Hi, I am a guitarist who also plays bass. Since I play mostly acoustic guitar, I need to have finger nails. Yet these finger nails create unwanted sharp attack instead of typical bass growl (think jazz). :crying: The question is: how can I …

2020年12月5日 · Go back to slow -- as slow as necessary to ensure that you can play the entire line(s) perfectly every time. Then increase the speed by a small amount, and practice that until you can play it perfectly, etc. The more you try to practice at a tempo faster than you can play perfectly you will just be practicing making mistakes.

2024年12月21日 · I play the bass line to “Good Times”. When the listener almost inevitably says “Another One Bites The Dust” I switch to that bass line. I can notice the rare person who realizes the difference. Also “Come Together” or “Day Tripper” seem to work ok too. For the right listener “Stir It Up” also works fairly well. Keep it short.
Sid Vicious could actually play bass...kinda. | TalkBass.com
2009年7月26日 · Sound quality is surprisingly good for a tape this old. His P-Bass through an Ampeg stack sounds like crap by itself but it sure sounds good blended in with drums and guitar. =) Sid was ok at best. Drugs were the priority in his life, bass playing was definitely way down on the list. He was exceptionally good at the "punk rock pose" for sure.
Tips for increasing fingerstyle speed - TalkBass.com
2006年8月14日 · Play things only as fast as you can play them cleanly and comfortably and bring the tempo up slowly like you are doing for your left hand. It also helps with Jeff's advice, small increments are easier to overcome than large ones and playing a tempo that you can pull off cleanly will ease the stress factor in your mind and hands.

2024年12月21日 · At sound checks, I usually randomly noodle on something vague, but I have busted out the bass line to "I just wanna make love to you" - not the stupid Foghat version, but the slow, sultry blues version. When people recognize it, it usually gets a chuckle, which is all the more fun because...I play church gigs.
CAN SOME ONE'S HANDS BE TOO SMALL OR FINGERS TOO …
2004年11月16日 · I have pretty small hands and play an Ibanez bass. I think thinner neck is key. I think smaller fingers are actually a plus as far as right hand speed goes. My usual warmup consists of playing scales/modes in the same position, 3 notes per string, going from my lowest string to highest (I play a five string).
Good bass player using only thumb? - TalkBass.com
2006年12月20日 · I am in process of converting from guitar to bass. I play finger style on guitar and play the bass with my thumb. Most of the stuff I play is folk and country, and so far I have been able to keep up. Is it possible to be a good bass player using only the thumb?
What pick/plectrum do you use on bass? - TalkBass.com
2019年6月20日 · I don't play with a plectrum often, but when I do, I use the one that came with my Darkglass preamp pedal. It feels like a medium-heavy pick. Just feels right to play with something that has bass clefs all over it.
