SudsyFist 0 #13 October 5, 2005 Quote Six string fretless. So that's how it's done ? That was Les's usual axe. It's pretty distinct, as he tended to flaunt it with a lot of smooth slides, even double and triple stops as heard on the Beaver. *Love* the right hand tapping on Jerry Was A Race Car driver. The only way to fudge that one on a four-banger is to use lighter strings and tune high, or play an octave lower. Even then, it's not the same without the fretless.

lawrocket 3 #22 October 5, 2005 I saw Rat Dog play back in 1997 and Rob Wasserman played "Satisfaction" solo on a four string. It was pretty bad ass and it reall was not to hard whe I figured it out. If you want to learn what I think is one of the greatest basslines ever,figure out Paul McCartney's bassline in "Something." Most don't notice it, and once I did, I just thought to myself, "DAYUM!"
