Sorry, I missed your comment about the bass, Thanks, I like the sound too! It's a bit of a hybrid bass. The neck is an ESP dating back to the early 90's (i think) and the body is Fender. Most would have put a Fender decal on the headstock, but I'm not at all vain about instruments. If they feel and sound good, that does me!

Thanks Kris. Nail the octave and the other techniques you choose to learn will be much easier to play. Good luck👍

thanks so much Keith, im gaining so much from your lessons. May i know what bass your using? the tone is soo funky!

[@academyofbass]

Thanks Bryan. The bass is a hybrid. It’s an ESP Jazz Bass neck on a Fender body. It’s fitted with EMG pickups and a Badass bridge.

What do you think about short scale basses; how they sound and are they necessary?

[@academyofbass]

I like them and use one in some of my videos. I wouldn’t say they are necessary, but they offer a different type of playability and can deliver a broad range of alternative sounds.
