Exactly, he's soloing, not providing backbone or chord support. I understand the criticism, but to me it's like watching a video of someone playing a James Jamerson line and complaining that they are playing to low or without enough variety or something. The bass is a tool, nothing more, nothing less, regardless of what role "traditional" music places it in.

It makes sense when you're transposing something from saxaphone though.

I hate to be rude to the poster of the video but I feel the same way. I'm sure that bass sounds incredible... use it to the best of it's abilities.

No offense, but it really annoys me when bass players only play on the higher octave. I know guitar is annoying and twangy, but when you don't utilize a basses range, then it defeats the whole point of playing bass.Good playing otherwise.

it's basically a small piece of wood - generally contoured to the fingerboard radius - you put right under the strings. on ijazzmunki's bass the ramp is placed between the pick ups. the role of the finger ramp is providing you both a thumb rest and the constant feeling of having something under your fingers. keep in mind that the ramp has to be placed really close to the strings (imho, no more than 2.5 mm), otherwise it's totally pointless to have one on your bass.
