Subject: RE: Acoustic Bass vs. Electric Bass
Thanks for the posts,

I just bought an acoustic bass for my bluegrass group (my bass player plays electric) and you've given me some ideas on amplification.

Do you recommend lowering the bridge to make it esier to play? What height should the bridge be to get a good tone?

Also I wanted to teach him the slap style like Lee Rocker and some old-time and bluegrass bassers play. Can anyone give me the details on how to play that style?
