    Thanks for this valuable bass lesson Tony Franklin. You inspired me to get a fretless P-Bass.

    Thanks, TrueFire, and Tony Franklin, for this lesson. I always love picking up an exercise that can double easily as a hook or groove in its own right.

    "As long as it gets the job done"
    I'm with you 100% and I noticed you do the same thing I do when it comes to fretless. Instead of "proper technique" with fingertips, you use the pads of your fingers which really brings out the growl of the low notes and the sing of the highs. Good on ya!

      It is similar to the violin. You play with the pads of your fingers. Makes sense.

    No, it seems more genuinely musical than it seems like an exercise. It’s easy to imagine that you eventually don’t even bother looking at the neck at all when your left hand and fingers just know where the right spot is.
    At first, I thought there was a modulation effect in the mix, but it was only the 2-pickup setting on Mr. Franklin’s bass.
    What he says about having big hands and Jaco having even bigger ones when he was alive brings to mind the unlikelihood that I would be able to play bass. My own hands are probably like those of Tommy Shaw, very little. The first electric bass I owned was the Epiphone take on the P-bass; the only sonic difference was the hockey stick headstock originating from the Explorer. Against the odds, within three months of purchasing it, the people I was playing music with had forgotten that I was really a guitar player, because that was how much they liked my bass playing. Nobody commented any longer that my hands were too small.

      There are some great bassists with smaller hands. A friend of mine has quite small fingers and he can absolutely blaze. I've seen small women play long scale basses, too. Proper technique goes a long way but a short scale bass can really help. I have big hands but tend to play up the neck on a 5 or 6 a lot to get lower notes with less stretch and strain, which helps with fretless intonation a lot.

      @pat8437 4 года назад +4

      AXE- Z Man, this might be controversial, but imo technique is incredibly subjective. I find the pistol grip not only to be comfortable but flexible, and the simandl method to be physically taxing and imprecise. It depends on what’s comfortable and suitable for the player, yeah?

      Everyone has a different technique. There is no one technique in playing.

      I think you're totally right even I would trade my left hand tech with his ability...but yes, there are written rules about about a good technique...

      @Scotty Hall if Tony could change is technique, get Scott's / Jaco's one in a snap , he would. A better technique will push the ceiling higher. Im saying, if you want to learn, learn from best practice.
