I'm just dying to know...how fast can you pump out straight eighths? (I'm inspired to keep going, but I listen to a lot of metal where we're talking 16th notes at 120 BPM+, so I wonder what speeds are attainable!) Best, ~Nick "Klaus" G. |

I took your challenge and it looks like I can manage 1/16th notes at 160 bpm on the lowest bass string (though I don't know for how long!) |

Greg, That is SUPER AMAZING, and I'm really excited to see that it can, indeed, be done (really the impetus for my question). Time to hit the woodshed!!! Best, ~Nick "Klaus" G. |

The more vertical the fretboard is the easier this is to do. A lower angle makes it much harder to involve the hands and arms. |

That's really good advice, Greg, especially given the nuances of stick technique that you've shared! I'm wondering if now is the time to switch away from the NS/Stick and back to a more "traditional" stick. Don't get me wrong, I love the NS, but it sits far more horizontally on my already awkwardly shaped body. I may have to seriously consider a Stick Bass again... Best, ~Nick "Klaus" G. P.S. This thread has been very helpful thus far! Thanks everyone! |
