Capo'd Bass Guitar Harmonics

[phantom_killer]

Hey guys just thought I'd share this more specifically with bassists. Recently I found out i could capo a bass and could sustain natural harmonics that actually fit the key of the song, so that i can play chords and melodies at the same time. The result is a sound that is quite full. Check out my performance of my song, we will be erased, which puts this technique to work! just drums and bass. no guitar in the song at all. synth part at the end chorus. Still not very good with this technique though. Comments appreciated!

i tried jamming this with my friend in camp on acoustic guitar doing some light strumming. The result is quite good! I'll try that for the next music video. The bass seems to be able to do the lows and the highs cos the harmonics are rather bell like. the acoustic guitar can cover the midrange and percussive sounds...

think the guitar strumming and plucking suits this song.
the percussive feel.
harmonics are nice too on the bass.
anyway can tell u put in lots of effort la. haf fun!
