Stairway To Heaven on FRETLESS bass sounds BREATHTAKING

[@jacobcorrigan3871]

"Stairway To Heaven" must be played on discrete and fretted notes. This song should be called "Ramp To Heaven". Great performance!

[@CharlesBerthoud]

Thank you!

[@sat1241]

@@CharlesBerthoud It would be nice to here you do a version of Hotel California sing that has a lot of parts. Another interesting thing to do is have a 4 or 6 string bass modified to have 4 or 6 independent outputs. Then each string can have a different effect. It's also good to have another switch operated by foot which can convert it all to one sound on and off so you can play a section within a piece conventionally and then switch back to the multiple outputs. So with such an instrument you don't have to have every string a different effect, you could have 2 strings one effect, the other two another effect, whatever is suited to the composition. The two strings that have the same effect dont; have to be next to each other, they could be the high and low or whatever you like. there are many possibilities. There also is a company that makes a pickup like this Modular multi-channel pickups by Cyfi Research The key is to start with find different effects that compliments each other well and adjust their parameters to fit even better, then add a new string, three sounds and do the same.

Charles, I have been a drummer for over 45 years and you are probably the closest thing to a bass playing Eddie Van Halen that I have seen.

[@DavideCampagnaGiuseppe]

Incredible sound! Some notes seems like they are a synth... Marvelous

[@mattnsac]

Because they are. That actually took it away from me. See that flush pickup right behind the neck? Thats the synth pickup.

[@NickTheSickDick]

@@mattnsac lmfao are you trolling?

[@mattnsac]

@@NickTheSickDick Absolutely not look at kzbin.info/www/bejne/nX7TlZiYqN6jpa8 pause it and look at the srtip that is flush with the body behind the heel of the neck. That is not a normal pickup, its a piezo pickup to hook straight to midi and a synth on the computer. If you can show me the notes hes playing in an octave well above the area of the fret board hes playing on, Im open, but that synth overtone is not being played directly, its being added by a computer based on the lower notes he's playing.

[@NickTheSickDick]

@@mattnsac He's playing those notes with his right hand, look closely. He starts playing the vocal melody with his left hand, and then seamlessly switches from his pinky to his right hand. This is a 6 string bass, so what looks like the D string is actually the G string.

[@NickTheSickDick]

@@mattnsac Also, to get midi out of a guitar you need a hexaphonic pickup, which will generally be behind the bridge pickup, if not built into the saddles themselves, as is the case with piezo based implementations like the graphtech ghost system.
