Why stress your fingers when you can just hit the note?

The ladies love strong fingers bending the g string.

Well on that bass you could bend to the 28th fret note.

Shhh.




In other news: Elgar's Enigma Variations are fantastic.

Phil, have you actually noticed the finger ramp make a difference in your playing?

I like to think I have pretty good technique, so I'm not sure if it would make any difference.

So I have the perfect avatar, but I can't size it small enough without distorting it.


Anyone have a means of making it small without it looking like ****?

Just out of curosity what bass is it and do you have pics?

what is it

You could now bend to the 28th. Look what Michael Manring can do with nearly a full three octave neck!

For example: [url]http://www.myspace.com/michaelmanring[/url]

Monkey Businessman ftw!

Edit: Gah, beaten by Akira on the bend.

I have on my fretless. More speed, better dynamic control, and an overall more expressive style.

Go to paint then go to stretch/skew and make it _% smaller. It shouldn't distort it.

Pfft, ramp schmapt

Pffbt. Real men's basses have C strings, anyway (or higher).

Just because I only like 4 strings doesn't make me less of a man when the lights are out and I'm on top.

Now what does the finger ramp do?
I know what it is, but what's the purpose of it?

Where can i find a finger ramp and what exactly is it?


EDIT: Grovvin beat me too it.

Tell me?

[QUOTE=trumpeter;13466131]Tell me?[/QUOTE]

I'm having Jared build me an 8 string. :) Just need to buy a cab first and then I'll be sending out a deposit to him (i.e. I won't have the money till spring).

Nice, how are you going to set it up?
I'm guessing a 6 string but 2 higher strings?

Hmm...

The only thing I'm thinking is that it couldn't hurt to put one on.

I'm not being cocky, but I do have pretty good fingerstyle technique, which is why I question if it would help, but I guess I'd still like to try it out and see if anything improves.

Yeah. B-E-A-D-G-C-F-Bb. If I ever move to a 9 or up, I'll add on a low F#, but I don't really think I'd use it much right now.

A low F# would probably hit the brown note :amaze:

[QUOTE=PaulSimonon;13466116]It does. Badly.[/QUOTE]

I guess your going to have to get a mod to make it big for you.

id say i had pretty good finger technique before hand, and now its even better. i mean, you dont have to put one on if you think you can play better than gary willis =O

What does a ramp do?
