Love the videos. I feel like I am improving a lot with them. Still my timing and tone are completely off.
Any tips for the type of tone you have here? My currently nooby set up is Squier VM Jazz bass, Zoom b2.1u effects pedal, Laney RB1 amp and EB super slinky strings.

I like this groove, It’s a bit trick at first but I got it and soon I’ll put a funky beat behind it. Thank you for the breakdown parts.

: 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.
