Bill Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 For a bit of fun, thought it may interest some people doing these videos with a few of my basses, this is my 1978 Mustang bass that i picked up from Chicago Music Exchange last year, i really dig the pick on this thing, but the fingerstyle records beautifully and has a lot of thump! 12 Quote
martthebass Posted March 6, 2019 Posted March 6, 2019 Very nice, as a recent convert to Mustangs for gigging purposes I can really appreciate this. 1 Quote

Thanks man, i've had her for just under a year now and only used it for studio / jamming / practice stuff, yet to try out on a gig! Quote
Adee Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 Both sound superb, couldn't say which is better, I prefered the pick for the attack Very nice playing ! 1 Quote

Cheers Adee, yeah the pick definitely has more attack, i'm coming round to the pick thing a little more after completely neglecting it for 15 years! 🙂 Quote

Very Bobby Vega. 1 Quote
bassbiscuits Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 Nice one - great playing too. Ive got a MIJ mustang with flats which I thought sounded good, but yours with rounds (I assume?) sounds great - real nice attack on it. Very nicely done mate 1 Quote
LewisK1975 Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 Great video @Bill some super-tight riffage there! Love it! Fingers for me! I kinda like the additional 'air' in the notes when using the pick, but for that bass, fingers just sound so 'right'! Great post! 1 Quote
Waddycall Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 Great playing but a bit of sustain is always nice when demonstrating tone! Both sound great. I’m trying to persuade myself I don’t need a mustang and this hasnt helped! 1 Quote

Bill Posted March 10, 2019 Author Posted March 10, 2019 This was the first video i did comparing both fingers and pick, maybe this one is a little less staccato.. 6 Quote

Haha, glad you dug it Cameron, just a random jam in E! i was really feeling the Pick on this vid, but have found the fingers to suit other things when it comes to warmth and attack. Quote

CJPJ Posted February 20, 2022 Posted February 20, 2022 I should add that if there is anyone on this forum that can teach / coach me to play like this then I'd love to have a chat! 1 Quote
