Misereatur:
THIS JUST IN:
I found a Music Man 93' today, second hand, for chheeaap.
Guess who's going to probably have a new bass guys.
Misereatur:
Is there another kind? *wink wink*
Actually, I was going to buy a Rickenbacker 4003 from a dude I know, but I was too late and he sold it.
Misereatur:
I like the thick neck, it feels more comfortable.
If you want a thumbrest closer to the neck you can just add one (I know fender are selling them) but the pickup is back there for a reason.
Kai:
When I am playing up near the neck I just rest my thumb on the side of the neck and play from there. Is this bad bass-fu or something?
Misereatur:
You play on different parts of the bass for different tone effects, so its baisically up to each player.
Some like to play close to the neck because the tone is "thicker" (if you get the right fretless and the right gear its almost a double bass sound), but its all about personal preferences.
I think you should play on the back side (near the pickup) on the Music Man, though, I think it gives a better sound. But that's just me.
Resting your thumb on the side of the neck gets your sound "dirty" with string buzz and other noises, I usually avoid doing that.
