Liquidation Tension Experiment

[Funkfingers]

Hello Basschatters,

Yes. I am the same Funkfingers from The Fret Board and late of the Seymour Duncan User Group Forum and TMR.Zoo Message Board.

I may already know of some of you from those other forums. If you are using a different ID here, please make yourself known. 

I shall save tedious equipment lists for another time.

Welcome Funkfingers.  I don't know you from anywhere else but I will always remember you for posting the scariest topic title that I have ever seen!

Thank you for the friendly welcome.

My thread title is a feeble pun on a band name that involves Tony Levin.

Funk Fingers is a registered trade mark name for those drumstick "finger extension" devices that TLev sometimes uses to play bass guitar. Contracting to one word avoids any possibility to litigation or confusion with somebody who was already using that name on a forum years ago.

[SpondonBassed]

Cool.  Does TL play his Chapman stick with those funk fingers?

[Funkfingers]

No but I have seen him play Grand Stick with a bow. (Stickmen perform an arrangement of Stravinsky's Firebird Suite.)

The string tension and action on a Stick are both extremely low. Striking with a drumstick would, at the very least, cause fret rattle and probably bring the string(s) into contact with the pickup.

Seen any decent EB-650's recently?

Ha ha, my own thoughts too
I don't know you from anywhere else either
Just wanted to add; "Funkfingers" is a fab user name

Welcome to the mad house

[Funkfingers]

Thank you. This joint cannot possibly be any madder than some of the other forums I have frequented.
