Hadrien Feraud Signature?

[Greg Lorisco]

Do you guys like the finger ramp? I have never used one and it looks unnecessary.

While I've never used one, I do understand and respect why Hadrien does. It's not for me, but it does look nice.

Why do you think he uses a ramp?

His 4-finger playing style and speed.

I just sold them a bunch or 18v units, the same we put in our basses. I think it's save to assume they will be using that unit in these basses. Hajime or Sleek Elite in Japan is producing them. Maybe some of these questions should be directed at him, you think? He is a member here so why not get the info straight from the source?

Funny thing I just noticed. On the Member List under 'H', Hajime's name is right after Hadrien's..

I think we should recognize the mastermind of Gary Willis who invented the finger ramp for his own style and esquisite technique. I used it for fretless playing and it's a real plus.
These days the finger ramp is kind of generic accessoire and it is used in many cases just for the hype.
The funny (or sad) thing is that this ramp (which is a little piece of wood between pickups or betweem central pickup and the neck) is proposed by a NY bass company, at only 399$ !!! - They really think bass players are stupid...
