Whats Your Favourite Note?

[JTUK]

Any note on the B string ..esp from E down. I like slap parts down there.
Who needs an open E...???

The F# on the E from my Ibanez gives out a nice round and slightly bright tone. The Rotosound PSDs may have something to do with it!

No love for 'G' then?

[quote name='mike f' post='1364593' date='Sep 6 2011, 08:48 PM']Low C# on the A string. Ooh yeah![/quote]


deffo between B and D on the A-string.

they just sing

[Clarky]

F sharp (on the E string) - a large proportion of Rattlin Bone basslines are based around it!

[Grand Wazoo]

These notes are my favourite always... they all sound good to me, never had a dull one

[Spike Vincent]

F.

[Fat Rich]

C on the A string, especially if followed by C on the low B string.

Sounds kind of purple with a hint of blue in the overtones. Burple, marvelous.

F# on the E string, usually hammered-on from an open E.

[bassace]

No doubt about it: B on the A string because when the band does its final flag waver we finish with a Bb number, there is an eight bar drum break and we finish up on a strong Bb. Except, except............I play a B, the band members turn round and glare at me and I slide down to Bb with a smile. They hate me for it but I like being a bit subversive and I've never really grown up.

F on the G string (10th fret). Dunno why though

Last practice I was playing Swords of a Thousand Men, by Ten pole Tudor, which is primarily on this note. The singer went out for a leak, and when he came back in, said "that note you`re playing rattles the windows in the bog". Very satisfying!

how odd i was thinking of starting this post myself but thought it would have been odd lol. Anyway im with the greek. An F on the E string has a certain dark growl.

A

[muttley]

Anything that isn't an open string.

[Skol303]

A low F for me please, Bob.

Nice and growly, but with a bit more 'individuality' than an open E or low G.

But that probably makes no F'ing sense whatsoever...

[chrismuzz]

C on the low B (or in my case low A) string. Proper fills the room

yep..liove that low C..

I've had a few women come up to me and say that note goes right through them...

I, of course, wish I could say, I have something else that could right through you as well... boom tsh..!!!

There's a middle C joke in there somewhere but I'm far well mannered to post it.

Hey, I played Bass for that Ten Pole Bloke!

[quote name='Hobbayne' post='1364588' date='Sep 6 2011, 08:46 PM']I think Bb has a very satisfying ring to it. If you play it on the A string 1st fret it gives a nice thump! [/quote]


Can you create a poll out of this?

Don't forget options for 'all of them'.

Sorry about the avatar (if you're reading this on Thursday morning). It's not me, honestly.
