My fretless has only 24, but I hit the G-string at the very end of the fingerboard, which sounds about right. You could raise your G-string to a G# if you wanted to.
Ahh yes, the chorus. This section requires slapping and strumming.
It also requires some big ol' distortion. All of the pedals that I
have tried gives me the sound that Cliff Burton got on "Anestasia,
Pulling Teeth". But I still have no clue to get the "motorcycle" tone
that Claypool gets. Any suggestions? E-mail me or post anything that
might help all of us Primus fans. I know that he has an ADA bass
preamp, that runs about $600. There has to be a less-expensive
solution. Back to the chorus, it requires that you play a low D
during one part. I guess that if you had a Hipshot detuner, you could
change the string down to a D, and back up. I just play a low E and
hope that I don't offend anybody. I will write the D on a B string as
if you were playing a five string bass. I will write down the
variants, listen to the tape to figure out the order that you play
them.
