wow, never saw or heard of this before. Would like to listen to it ... can't really imagine how it sounds.

There was an Old fender Bass with Tremolo too (it was a bigger version of the Jaguar ad Jazzmaster´s tremolo) but i don't remeber the model name

It sounds really cool, say he would pop a note and push the whammy down and then back up and it would make a really cool sound.. he uses it a lot, next time your in a music or video store.. or on amazon.. look for 'Hallucino Genetics' by primus.. its there live 2004 dvd.

:beer:

And as for the basses he uses, they cost quite a bit, and most of them have tremelo's on them, i wouldnt mind trying one.. looks like fun.

I think Kahler do a bass trem :)

ive seen this thing that billy does live
with steve vai and what he does is
he plays a billion notes per second and when he bends a string he tips his bass upwards and it drops the note as if there was a tremolo it was so cool
he must use a tremolo any other time though.

Yeah billy sheehan is a cool bassist, with a unique playing style, a great use of tapped harmonics and pinch harmonics in his fast fingerstyle playing, but the only thing i dislike is them Fender p bass looking yamahas with block inlays.. urgh! but he plays it well,



Thats a lot of bass tremelos! and them ritters in the middle of the page! nice!

oh in case aby hasn't noticed, there's a second page:

This may be a stupid question but you know what they say:

"Remember, there are no stupid questions, just stupid people."

What are scalloped frets?

I meant to say "what is a scalopped neck?"
