Since the accident 20 years ago, I mostly use a pick because my finger strike is crooked. Hello fellow mangled index brother. Haha. Never thought about how a right hand injury could hamper things. Didn’t Jerry Garcia have a missing right hand finger or something? Last edited: Apr 15, 2020 17:07:02 Top

It has me listening and thinking of Bob Bogle more and I continue to be impressed. I don't know if it's because he came to it after Nokie took over on guitar, but his pick style is so tight and driving. I think he is a real model on how to play bass in a surf/instrumental band. Top

For the 2020 compilation, I wrote a song with bass in the lead, drums and rhythm guitar, at https://surfguitar101.com/downloads/details/877/ I recently finished recording Jack Nitzsche's 'The Lonely Surfer' with the bass taking the lead throughout. It was fun layering in more instruments as the song went along. I like playing bass, but mostly play it only when making a backing track or making a bassline for one of the few songs I've written. For my own songs, I like going with a more melodic line. — If I'd stop buying old guitars to fix, I might actually learn to play. Bringing instruments back to life since 2013.

I do find working with a six string bass is a little more productive, but a four banger is often what's handy. — mj bent playing for benter results Do not attempt to adjust your TV set. https://www.facebook.com/Bass-VI-Explorers-Club-179437279151035/ https://www.facebook.com/Lost-Planet-Shamen-366987463657230/ Top
