One question that comes up over and over is…
“what should I upgrade first… my bass or my amp”?
I have a really strong opinion on this topic - so if you’ve ever wondered what and exactly why you should be choosing one over the other… this video.
In this video I’ve also got the amazing Damian Erskine with me.
He’s been in the studio with us recording a brand new course for the membership here at ScottsBassLessons focusing on his amazing plucking hand technique… if you’re a member, keep a look out!
You can see him in action using his unique plucking hand approach in this video + we also get to check out the custom made pickup ramp he has fitted to his bass where both pickups are moulded into one single piece of resin… it’s hard to explain in text, but you can check it out in the new video.
Bass vs amp, how to play chords on bass, the 3 finger technique… it’s all in there.
As always, I’d LOVE to hear back from you guys… when it was time to upgrade your gear, what did you decide to go for… bass or amp… and why? Make sure you jump into the conversation in the comments!
See you in the shed,
Scott :)
PS. HUGE thanks for all the amazing feedback about the new course we released into the ScottsBassLessons.com membership last week - “Slap Bass Fundamentals” with Phil Mann
From the feedback we’ve received over the last few weeks you guys have been LOVING it!
