Sustain

Supernaut · Post by **Supernaut** » Mon Jun 19, 2006 5:20 pm

Got any tips on sustaining harmonics? I can already sustain a fret 7 natural harmonic for quite a long time. But not long enough

Any tips? It might be different on bass...I dunno

Billy Sheehan and a friend of mine both put light overdrive on their basses, apparently it helps loads. Also lets you do pinch harmonics easier. Not sure if I got this right but hey, worth a try.

volume helps as well...

Light overdrive. Must find an overdrive pedal now

I thought you said "Billy Sheehan is a friend of mine"

you could add in a little delay to help with the sustain too

Hahahaha

, now that would be pretty cool, sort of true though... My friend has a similar playing style to him.
