Mike - you are a bass MONSTER but to really help more players fully grasp this technique you need to sssssslow it right down!

I thoroughly enjoyed watching you play, thanks for sharing with us...but I still dont get it (I am old school!)

[ijazzmunki]

hey man, thanks for the nice words but I did already make a video that shows this technique very clearly and slowly, just look on my profile videos and look for the four finger picking lesson video, let me know if it helps

@GaryNull But of course there are always exceptions.

Abe Laboriel uses a 5 finger technique, but he is just in a league of his own and one of the top 3 bass players ever in my opinion:

I've seen guys with 3 and 4 finger right hand playing. It's good if you want to play some fast passage or something once in a while, . . but there is no dynamics and a weak attack. Playing with 2 fingers (the strong fingers) is much better because you can use dynamics, and if have good technique, still play fast. I more concerned with making each note count instead of playing a million meaningless notes.

BASS GOD

[Hobble]

you can the same speed, but the tone of each technique is different.

[putiniwawa]

you can make that sound with out using the ring finger .

just use the double thump and index and middle finger
