  • Hello Marcus! I just got my Cort Action V bass. I know how to play it...I've tried a few sons, but what if I want to alternate my fingers fast? How do I do that without hitting the string above? I tried resting my fingers on that string but if I have to alternate fast, I can't prevent that string from vibrating. Can you help me? Greetings from romania! Andrei.

  • i have just noticed my fingers sometime double pick when i change strings.It's Sooooooooooooo annoying i play faster and pick twice with the same finger it so annoying a pain in the but.Help me.Like Feel good by gorilaz i double pick the hole Bass line man i need to pick properly

  • you re the best¡¡¡ :D

  • AWesome Tutorial! this really helped mate thank you!

  • @1994Jordynn thnx atleast now I know what I have to do without wasting that much money. thnx man

  • @OmarM945 I have a crappy Austin P bass, and it sounds decent to slap, finger, and pick it. As with a Fender J bass. Just about any bass will sound halfway decent to slapping, picking and fingering, depending on the type of strings you use. (Roundwound, stainless steel, etc.) There are all kinds of different string varieties that affect your sound A LOT more than the actual bass guitar does.

  • @mrtamberineman123 There's a technique that Alexis Sklarevski uses that uses fingernails. Look him up. Also, there is the slap and pop technique. It doesn't sound necessarily like a plectrum, but it is a lot more percussive than the warm sound produced by your fingertips.

  • @CeleryStalkerz i love that bass, but i dosent have that fat sound that i want, but still pretty good

  • Is it possible to use your finger nails while picking? does it make it sound more like using a plectrum then?

    please reply?

  • thanks
