I found this picture from a couple of years ago - I was just picking up the bass then. Maybe I play the bass like a guitarist, instead of a bassist, but then again I've no intention of switching to bass full-time - I just wanted to be able to play bass-lines for some of my songs. My long fingers come in handy for playing bass! I've never had problems muting strings, or with them getting in the way - but then again, I had quite a few years guitar playing experience under my belt, so all I've done is adapted the various techniques I already used for guitar for playing bass, ie. This way, I've found it easier to angle the headstock on the bass to the optimal position. The biggest difference I've found between playing guitar and playing bass is the way I wear my strap - playing guitar, I like to have the guitar reasonably high on my body, whereas playing bass, I like it low - almost as far as the strap will allow. So, any beginner tips for hand/thumb/elbow placement would be appreciated, as well as tips from the long-fingered on what to do with the nice extra length when it's just getting in the way bumping other strings and needing to bend them more (maybe?) just to get down to the strings and such. I can improve the situation by putting the neck in a (much) more vertical position, but can't really do that sitting down. I can do a 4-fret stretch okay (not great yet, of course :lol: ) on the first 4 frets of the G string, but as I move up to the E string, my hand/wrist starts to rotate counterclockwise so I end up touching the strings with the sides of my fingers instead. I have long, spindly "piano" fingers (good for stretching, bad for muting, it seems). I got my first amp 2 days ago (Peavey Minx 110, I just had the bass hooked up through my soundcard until then) and my eyes (ears) were finally opened to the amazing amount of sounds that I was making unintentionally: ringing strings, bumping strings, notes sounding when I fret them before I pluck them or when I lift my finger off the string.I assume some of this will quiet down as I learn better technique, right?īack to my original question. :wink:Īnyways, I'm new to the bass since about 3 or 4 weeks ago.my only other guitar experience before that was more or less some open chords on a regular (non-bass) acoustic guitar. The iSort, combined with the iLift elevator, is the perfect solution to improve the packaging line efficiency by sorting broken, twins or capped tablets before entering the feeding system.I just found Vic Lewis's hand size thread and I thought it was really unfair that I could only just touch the 6th fret on my guitar. In combination with a tablet deduster and a Flex Connect connectivity, the iSort can be used as a “C” Containment The sorting unit is configured with a specific lifting system (2 different heights available) that elevates the product to the blister line hopper. Installed upstream of a blister machine, the iSort has been designed to automatically sort undersized tablets and product fragments that contaminate the feeding system, avoiding jamming and costly downtime on the packaging line.
