Sports In Brief Venus Williams Upset By Bartoli

Venus Williams was upset by France's Marion Bartoli , 6-2, 5-7, 6-4, in the championship match of the Bank of the West Classic yesterday in Stanford, Calif.

Williams, making her first appearance in the event since 2005, reached her seventh final in eight appearances at Stanford. She has won two titles, but none since 2002.

The eighth-seeded Bartoli, who lost in last year's final, played a steady match against the second-seeded Williams and likely will move up two places into 12th when the next world rankings are released. Williams is expected to remain third.

Sam Querrey ended a string of final-round frustrations by beating Carsten Bell , 6-4, 3-6, 6-1, to claim the L.A. Open title in California. It was Querrey's third straight final and fourth of the season.

If i play a 4 string bass, how hard will it be to play a 6 string bass?

I am currently playing on a 4 string bass for 5 months and my dad said in a year he will either buy me a 4 string gibson or a 6 string bass. Which should i play? Is it hard to switch?


The only differnce will be mostly in the right hand since the strings are slightly closer. Their is no adjustment whatsoever besides what I have explained.
The 6-string will gives you more versatility due to the 2 extra strings although, 5-strings are more popular due to the fact that they have the added B string on the bass side for more depth. I would suggest a 5-string but, its your choice.

What are some good songs using a 6 string bass?

I just got a six string and i only know one song utilizing the high C. I need some more songs. I have been playing for 6 years so the difficulty dosent really matter, i just need some more.


Les Claypool played a six string on his album Sailing the Seas of Cheese,
Jerry Was a Race Car Driver is played on a six string.

Stu Hamm uses one for most of his stuff...

Same for John Pattitucci on a lot of his solo stuff.

Most guys use six string basses so they can play faster by not having to go up the neck so much to hit those higher registers.

By having that extra string they simply go there as opposed to climbing up the neck on the g string.

Other than that its usually just a show-pony type of thing.
