fatback Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 [quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1376223052' post='2170896'] I won't be having a full volume practice for two weeks now but I'm hoping they will work, does the newer Fishman have the notch filter? [/quote] Looks like it. Mine is on my amp, so i can't report on how good the Fishman is.

stingrayPete1977 Posted August 11, 2013 Author Posted August 11, 2013 Ahh it looks like they have just rebadged the knobs from compression to smooth and depth to notch? Quote
stingrayPete1977 Posted August 28, 2013 Author Posted August 28, 2013 A few updates to add- I think I have found the root of my feedback problem, the tail piece! I haven't used the gedo at volume since the last post but I was playing around at home with the fishman and bassmax (now fitted on the treble side) I didnt have my home made f hole covers on and it started to feedback but I was right in front of the speaker, I brushed my arm past the tail piece as I was crouching down adjusting the eq, I hadnt plucked a note but it was vibrating loads! Chunk of the grey stagg packing foam behind the tail piece, sorted.....hopefully... Next up I have been studying Geoffs fantastic clips on youtube, spent some time on finger spacing/left hand technique in general and shifting, as I already know how to play regular bass I think this is going to be the key to improving. I'm really trying to play double bass rather than elec bass on end, I didnt understand before when people said this but I do get it now although I have a lot of work to do don't get me wrong. No more 3rd finger notes and crossing strings in position is really tightening up my intonation, shifting is now my worst problem I'd say so my next few practices need to focus in on that, Geoffs clip will be worn out! Nearly forgot, practice tomorrow hopefully without feedback, first proper db gig this Saturday! Quote
FLoydElgar Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 Buy Duncan's daily exercises... Can not stress at how good they are for hand shape >.< Quote
stingrayPete1977 Posted August 28, 2013 Author Posted August 28, 2013 Ah ok I will check that out, ta, certainly my main problem but at least I can spot it now and give myself a slap when I use my 3rd finger (not worried about thumb position yet where I understand the 3rd finger comes back in?)

fatgoogle Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 There are methods were you use all 4 fingers like electric but um best to stay away unless you find one of the few teachers. 3rd finger is used in thumb position instead of your pinky. Quote
Bilbo Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 [quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1375911329' post='2167452'] That's the thing with db, everyone will watch![/quote] Get a hat. You'll be fine. Quote
stingrayPete1977 Posted August 30, 2013 Author Posted August 30, 2013 Got my hat, f hole covers and foam behind the tail piece, I will report back after the gig! Quote
