Tech Dude: Thumbs Up

M123 Bass Tech Tip


Keep your thumb up to keep your sound punchy

Here's a good rule of thumb (geddit?) for bass guitar players. Keep your thumb anchored on the E string when you play instead of on the body of your bass. When you need to play the low E string, just slip your thumb up to rest on the body or the top of a pickup. This will keep the E string from moving in sympathy with the other strings while you're playing, making your sound punchier and cleaner by eliminating the low-frequency rumble of a vibrating open string.
