Playing with your thumbs?

Playing with your thumb is certainly not incorrect. Fender basses made before the 1970s had finger rests designed for the player to anchor his or her fingers and pluck with the thumb. <BR> <BR>I like the lazy feel I get when playing exclusively with my thumb, and I've developed quite a bit of speed...

bass distortion on Garvey's Ghost

The only audio program on my computer is Reason. Digital Performer &#40;and a new Mac to run it&#41; may be in the not too distant future. I have been eyeing a non-virtual, tube compressor for my bass rig though. . .

bass distortion on Garvey's Ghost

Thank you both for responding. Interruptor, you put into words what's I like so much about that bass tone: distortion without the harshness. Do you have a soundclip of your blockfish-ed bass?

bass distortion on Garvey's Ghost

It almost sounds like the bass is overdriving the mixer. So I'm curious, can anyone identify the distortion, and is there a way to reprod...
