It seems to me that you already have it nailed. Obviously difficult to offer advice without hearing the part and context, but it's easy to fall into the trap of "Oooh, that's a good bit. let's make sure everyone hears it", by doing so, you run the risk of over egging it.

Dood Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Pickup choice can make a difference and their position. I like using multi band compression which can push the higher frequencies when needed but leave lower frequencies alone. EQ, of course, that will be useful - and a bit of drive. More saturation for a pronounced effect. If you want to make the harmonics stand out longer, then HPF a delay pedal so it only delays your high frequencies! But don't overdo it! You can pluck harder towards the bridge, meaning a louder harmonic without the string flapping around too much. On some instruments I have found that plucking with my nail or a plectrum helps, but generally an accurate and good left hand technique is where it is at. I can get more volume out of any bass with good technique first without the addition of the above, but it does help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dood Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Next up, fretting notes with the left hand and tapping harmonics with the right hand to get ALL the notes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that guitar doesn't play true-tempered harmonics I'd want my money back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stub Mandrel Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Must admit I was impressed by that effect, but aghast at the price. This beasty is a fifth of the cost: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 I have the Neunaber and use it on a duo gig on DB bowing harmonics. Watching my producer mate in the front row do a double take as he tried to work out where the "3rd" player was was joyful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
