Because I love the 5 too...

That's the dream man 😂. Funds aren't great so if I wanna get a 4 banger I'll have to let the 5er go

Yeah I'm using the floating thumb technique myself and it's working out very good for me. I just find myself so much more comfortable on a 4 but I keep thinking "don't do it man" 😂

Always mate.....

Hey low enders. I'm struggling bigtime the last few months. I really want to go back to a 4 string bass but I love the extra depth and fretting positions available from the 5. I do struggle with keeping everything quiet on a 5 and the weight is slightly (only slightly) getting to me. I'm currently playing a stingray 5 2013 with the alnico pups. Monster bass but I've preferred the 4 string versions I've had in the past. Help 😂

Getting back to that F is a beach

I've seen this video and few times before and even though ASL is a phenomenal player he completely fluffs the first couple of notes and then (very quickly) turns it into a flash slap piece.

Your timing is bang on. That's exactly how I count it. Unfortunately the drummer I'm with seems to count it differently and we've spoken about it before and he even had the audacity to tell me, "it's a simple line and once you get it, you won't remember playing it wrong". He still comes in a half beat after me. Sounds shite

It doesn't look like it but I really enjoyed it last night.

Do ya know, I was kinda thinking the same 😂. Now I get that little breather to get back on that low F. I used to actually just play the octave F on the D string followed by the lower A and C notes of that riff but it'll be nice to hit back to the low F

Fully agree with you. The problem is I'm the new guy and the band have been playing it "wrong" for so long now I don't they can play it right 😂

OK I've figured out what's going wrong between me and the drummer. At the end of the 8 count he's putting in a count of 1 and then starting the verse. So effectively he's allowing a pause at the end of the solo and then the verse so the whole count is 12341234 1 1234 and so on. Mad wrong but sure now I know what he's at ill just lock into it.

I hear ya chief. Its a tune that has been my nemesis for years. I'm glad to be tackling it and I'm 95% there.

Just listened back at 50% and I think your dead right. It definitely sounds like there's a note being hit instead of a ghost note

Are ya sure the open notes are there? I'll have to slow her down again😂. I like the open note approach. It does seem a little easier playing them on the 1st half descending line but it's very tricky to keep the strings quiet if you include them in the 2nd half ascending line. I feel a compromise comin on

Very interesting alright. I've seen this before and I think he's pretty close but not quite there. There is no open notes in the actual riff. They're ghost notes. The timing seems right though

We're gonna run through it on Friday night. I said it to him and he maintains that I'm playing it wrong and my timing of it is off.

Will do mate. 2 fine towns. I've played music in both of them many times

Absolutely mate. On the nose of the 1 third bar.

I dunno man but I was doubting myself then, ya know?
