Feeling the Bass August 19, 2009

Everyone tells me I have to feel the bass. I read about it a bit. Flea (Chili pepper) say when he play his bass, he can actually feel the guitar vibrate without even plugging in. I have a $400 ibanez; so, I can feel very little. But, here is what I found. Instead of pressing the strings, if you grab on to them (as if your fingers are hanging from the strings) you can start to FEEL it.

So, feeling the bass really means “play it with some authority”
