nick Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Hi Was wondering if anybody ever does string scraping on their bass, that technique that all heavy metal guitarists seem to do all the time. Do it myself occaisionally, partly to piss off any guitarists Anybody have any interesting techniques? Can't seem to do it, when I've got flats on though(?)

Use your finger to guide the thumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 One of those jellyfish picks might do a slide impression on flats. Also, think punker stuff has the gratuitous pick slides: [url="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=EKaZuVaJGbI"]http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=EKaZuVaJGbI[/url] My web-fu is too weak to embed.
