L290 Em pentatonic bassline
Add to favorites 
A relatively simple bassline using only notes from the E minor pentatonic scale – E G A B D.
Im experimenting with my new audio and video setup:
A Creative Vado HD 3rd generation pocket dv cam for video. Not enough light in this shoot, will be better in next video:)
And for audio; a TC electronic RH450 amp direct output into a Apogee Duet soundcard into Garage band (mac)
On the Jazz Bass Im favoring the bridge pickup and rolling back on the tone control (Jaco style setting)
RH450 amp settings for this lick:

I saw on You Tube that standard notation parts are available for certain tutorials. I can’t find them on the site. Could you please indicate (clearly) how I can get to them? Thanks, Diane

A “practice tempo” is a tempo where you can play the line fluently and precise;-)

I have no problem with the video on my mac here, are you on very slow computers?
Bass is loud too.
Maybe you should just download the iPod version?

The video is freezing up and the bass is very low! All other videos are working. Please help, need my fix!

…sounds OK, but the video was jerky and delayed when I viewed it (has been quite OK for a long time with the “old” setup) Hope this is not permanent

Hi Marlowe
Nice lesson, I wonder where you get so much inspiration.
One day I’d like to see a lesson about tone, pickup balance and amp settings, etc
Regards from Portugal

: Hmm, the link has gone missing, let me locate it and get back to you
: Hey Marlowe, I bought the L253 in order toget the backing track. However, there is no backing track without the bass. Is there a way to get this?
: Thanks Marlowe! I guess I better start saving up. I can't wait to get one. I'm positive if I get one then my playing automatically gets funkier right?
: Hank: my sig bass will be presented at the Frankfurt musik messe in march. I dont know of the price but i guess it will be priced in the same range as Sandbergs California models. There is a couple of american retailers, check Sandbergs site.
: Hi guys!
: hi, GospelBassMan
: Hello community!!
: Will your bass be mass produced? Do you think it will be affordable (relatively speaking) Will it be offered online for us Americans that wanna buy it?
: Thank you very much.
