For Sale, Cheap. Any Bass in my SIG
Talk about an ear opener. Lousy technique and unmusical to boot. But I did promise sound clips so I will leave my ego at the door, since in spite of my playing, there are differences to be heard.
Bass into a Tascam Bass Trainer (first generation) into the sound card of a HP Pavilion. That which is attempting to be played is the bass part of a Bach Chorale arranged for guitar quartet. Same player on each clip ;-) Right hand position is consistent for the same bass but I think the SF position was marginally closer to the neck. Fingers, not pick. I injured my middle finger 40+ years ago and if you really listen carefully you can tell when it is being used. Quantity of beer consumed during recording may also be a variable that was not controlled.
Strings are the factory supplied roundwounds in the Newark Street, D'addario flats on the Starfire and TI Jazz flats on the Newark Street. Both sets of flats were provided by LTGer Happy Face. Thank you. Newark Street needs some adjustment for the flats. There is some fret buzz on the lower frets and I didn't get the intonation quite right.
Volume control was always full on. Tone control was at 0 and then at 9. Files are named xxyz where xx is the bass - NS for Newark Street and SF for the '67 Starfire, y is F for flatwounds and R for roundwounds and z is 0 or 9 for where the tone control was.
Files are WMA format. If you can't play them, let me know and I can convert and relink. Files are in my Dropbox and I reserve the right to delete them and reclaim the space although that won't happen in the near future. I was able to get them all to play in a browser by left clicking on the link. If that doesn't work try right clicking and then Save As, or the equivalents for your browser.
