Back in the fold (SR5) and a question...

[BrandonS]

I STILL consider myself a bit of a n00b at bass... 2.5 years now (no other musical instruments or training), so taunt me if you will, must, or just are plain bored.
I've actually been running through some of the scales for some songs and find my biggest issue is how to dampen that extra string when I'm playing up on the D and G strings. Just a matter of remembering to change where I rest my thumb.

Cool! Thanks for the confirmation!!!

Palm-muting is your pal.

new term (to me) and something new to learn, thx!

Yeah, the B-string makes a great thumb rest (and stops it from ringing!).

 

[T Alan]

Sharp bass!

Pearl Platinum

Never heard of that colour, I guess it must be a rare one then! Beautiful colour, and great pics as always from you!

One of most beautiful SR 5 I've ever seen, rally looks good in this color!

Contrasts on that photo are so deep that I thought at the moment that this is ebony FB, but after good looking I see rosewood now!
