how can I do a sweeping upside chord, George?

[BassLessonsOnline]

I don't know exactly what you mean with "sweeping upside". Can you elaborate?

Thanks,

George

@BassLessonsOnline I mean do a chord from G string to E string

But I play with a pick for a punk rock style :)

[BassLessonsOnline]

Thanks for the additional info; it is very helpful.

Sweeping with a pick is in fact very easy. I suggest you check out a few guitar lessons on the technique (such as those from Frank Gambale). Just modify the technique and the chord voicings so they work on bass.

Bass of Luck!

Great! Now play a E7b13add9

[BassLessonsOnline]

Among several voicings available on 4-string bass, here is one for the chord you mention:

E0 A15 D16 G13

Bass of luck!

You are asking the wrong person, simply because I am a bass player and love bass.

Maybe you can borrow a bass before committing to buying?

me and some friends of mine had the idea of forming a band and i got the bass, but i'm afraid to buy a bass and then don't do anything with it. do you thing is worth buying one?

[SuperSukme]

You can play anything you want anywhere on the neck, as long as you choose a comfortable fingering.

Try the D lower on the neck and see if it works for you - experimentation is the key :)
