Found this minty spider resonator today.

Not a great pic but I'm too lazy to go get a good one.

my bass also uses that bridge ! is that burgundy mist or car ?

you are a converted guitarist iirc ? I'm interested in your right hand approach , are you picking or fingerstyle or maybe slapping ?

rn i'm hunting tone / characterization while I get up to speed . I sort of like the fingerstyle sound best , i'm not really pursuing slapping ( it will be there later ) and I feel very comfortable picking in time and very comfy to palm mute so I can get reasonable tone altho I feel I am picking too hard .

fingerstyle bass is not intuitive for me . I do a lot of pick-free stuff with the guitar ( frailing and Travis picking are bread n butter , am very comfortable with Atkins style picking ) but I find none of that really translates to the role and architecture of the bass so i'm figuring it out I guess .

i'm leaning towards a one-finger approach a la jamerson . there is very little footage of him playing . it's like trying to parse Robert Johnson . i deeply suspect he uses the back of his pointer finger to push for instance 16th notes where most fingerstyle players would use the middle finger . maybe I will try pairing my first two fingers as a reinforced hook . lol . we will see what sticks
