I felt like getting mellow - so here's a jazz ballad - it's the chords to Wayne Shorter's Miyako - this was a single take and I'm using a little reverb from my EBS Dynaverb pedal - sounds nice.

A brief look at the different way of using thumb, index, middle and ring fingers to create fast percussive lines on the bass.

I love jazzy dance music and this is a great remix by Jazzannova remix of the classic 90s drum and bass tune by 4Hero - We Who Are Not As Others - I jammed along, this was what came out - it's one take - kind of fun I hope.
A Gary Willis chord sequence I love - good for practicing them changes - it's very Bill Evans influenced with multiple key centre shifts - I haven't cracked it yet - just felt like sharing my progress.
A starter lesson for this technique - hopefully some of this information is clearer to understand than in previous videos - this is should help you break down the basics of the this technique to begin incorporating it into your playing.
I'm using my lovely Sei Bass Single Cut series one - more pics here:
