THANK YOU!!!! This has been driving me nuts. That 'clack' was so annoying.

I'm a little late to the suaree but I first heard piccolo bass from Marlowe DK. He does some amazing stuff with one.

Pls do samples Sir .. That will so much appreciated Sir

Thanks for the video version

Do you know anywhere I can go to hear the exercises played? I can count out the easy ones (quarters, eighth notes, etc). But getting to the ones with a lot of rests and more complex rhythms I don't quite know if I'm getting the right result.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, I always heard that on cliff, steve harris and Geezer butler Bass lines but I couldn't emulate it, It sounds so cool!!!!

Thanks Dale, I enjoy your channel. I have a question for you - hoping you can help. One of my basses is a G&L L-2000 and I love it. It's set up perfectly and I just put a new set of Ernie Ball Regular Slinky (45/65/85/105) set of roundwounds on it but there's a problem. The E string is WAY louder than the G string. I've been playing bass for 40 years, I know the obvious - that because of the thickness, the E string will be louder than the thin G string but this is way beyond. I'm wondering if you can think of any reason why it's like that and what is a possible remedy? I was thinking of purchasing a different set of strings - one with a thinner E String and another with a thicker G string but that's now 3 sets of strings for 1 bass! It get's expensive! Please let me know? Thanks!

I purchased the book last year its great!

Awesome review, gonna grab a copy

Great review of the book. I finally got it after years of going back and forth. Very excited to dive in

Instant sub, this video's is highly underrated

Yuck. There's nothing bass about that thing. Might as well just get a baritone guitar, and leave off the two highest strings.

Less talk more playing

2 of my favorite artists play the piccolo bass: the late, great Wayman Tisdale and Julian Vaughn.

I've had this book, and actually played trumpet with the funk brothers, who were brought back into the spotlight by Alan Slutsky's tireless work and dedication.One of my CDs is scratched beyond recognition and I'd like to teach this to my students. Does anyone know how to get the online audio version?

Thanks for the video, I've been a guitar player for years and starting to learn bass and this was driving me crazy. lol

Are there any 6 string piccolo basses? Would be pretty funny

Wait isn't this like a 4 string guitar then? Or did I miss something? Like isn't bass octave lower than guitar and this is again octave higher so back to guitar?

Fantastic review on a great video..👌🏾

When you slap with the thumb (thumping) do you strike the string at the angle similar to how you induce the clack when doing fingerstyle? ie kind of 45 degrees away from perpendicular into the fingerboard?

I've also had this book for decades and have recently started working with it again. It's a great resource. Thanks for sharing.

Love the lesson. I've been clacking too hard for way too long, time to take a look at improving my right hand technique as I'm getting older :)

Very informative video 🤘

cheers, mate! 🎉 definitely thinking about it. been looking at basses, plectrum banjos, and ukuleles. thinking now about a violin bass with piccolo strings

Thank you for this, tone is my problem !

Any brian bromberg albums you can recommend with a piccolo bass

Thank you

I have been following your channel, since bass in 2 minutes lesson. Thank you for sharing yo I r knowledge.

Sound wisdom. Thank you.

Again, thank you! I wish I could learn exactly how lightly I should be plucking. It seems like the players that get very distinct ghost notes and dynamics appear to pluck super lightly, but I have a hard time keeping volume and intensity even when I pluck super light. I’ve learned on line so I have no one-on-one instruction.

Exactly what I was looking for as the clack was driving me bonkers

2:50 that flex was absolutely insane 😳🔥

I have a Danelectro Hodad bass that I converted to a Piccolo . . . sounds very cool with Lipstick pickups!

Thanks for this! New subscriber here. Do you have any tips for removing the clack from recorded bass in your DAW? 😎

I just set my Hofner violin bass with piccolo strings and having a lot of fun. As I sing my own songs is great to comping myself with chords 👌🏻 thanks! Do you agree with piccolo strings sound better in a short scale bass?

This Is the way to resurrect my basses.. i'll go piccolo!!!!!

thank you so much for this !!! 😭😭

Reading about Joey from Manowar's bass brought me here. Great video.

Another video of you play3,please? I don't know how I missed this one!😯

THANK YOU. This has been driving me insane.

inb4 8 string piccolo bass

Thank you for the excellent explanation.

Wonderfull Video. I have a few questions. 1. What are the gauges and tuning of the piccolo bass? 2. guitar E, A, D, G? 3. Also for 4, 5, 6 string basses? **I have a 6 string tuned with bass E, A, D, G, C, F, with gauges 100. 85, 65, 45, 28, 22. 5. Is there someone doing higher than F? maybe Bb? These being bass tuning/octave lower then guitar. I'd appreciate any feedback.

Why is no one commenting about the fact that he is playing a short scale Warwick bass? 😍

Stanley Clarke slaps on piccolo. Therefore, COOL.

Great simple tip!!! Thank you for making this video!

Do you do private lessons or help people if they’re struggling? I’m like a newbie here like touched a bass last week for the first time newbie 😂 I’m going to watch your scales videos now I don’t own a bass right now but I will soon

Just started formal bass lesson my bass teacher recommended your videos

Would making your string gauge heavier to increase the string tension also alleviate some of that clacking?

I've been playing solo acoustic gigs on my Alvarez acoustic piccolo basses for about 15 years now - because I also suck at guitar! It's that whole pick thing. I don't like a middleman between me and what I want to play, lol.
