Re: Fingers versus picks...

What i mean is this.There are bassists out there who have studied music..and some of them are still studying.As result they always have something new to learn..so they evolve as musicians.

If you are learning a music instrument by yourself it is much harder.You can still be a great musician..but it ...

Re: Fingers versus picks...

Speaking of bass and pick..does anyone know any really good pick bassist?
I like Jason Newsted's style(metallica)..and Gerry Mc aVoy(Rory Gallagher).

Whenever i run out of ideas i try to find something new..because i cant play any notes..l learned everything myself.

4,5, or 6 strings?

Even though i'm not a beginner..i didn't have the opportunity to play with a 5 or 6 string bass.Somehow i had the idea that i had to exceed the limitations of a 4 string bass in order to buy a 5 or 6 string.

Here's the question.There should be somebody among us who plays a 5 or 6 string bass.What I ...
