09.18.09 | Basses are fun. I sold mine to my bassist. Then I started listening to more and more RHCP and 311 and now deeply regret giving it away. |

09.18.09 | Oh by the way, it gets a lot easier with time. Your fingers just need to get used to the stretching. |
EasternLight

Benzum
09.18.09 | If your D string is rattling you might need to adjust the action (true story) but yeah that's awesome man, have a good time etc. |

09.18.09 | Nice! Your fingers will get used to it with time, it seems so impossible at first on those top 4 frets, but its not! |

09.18.09 | Here's a finger stretch for you:
G -- 10 (I) -- 12 (M) -- 14 (P)
D -- 10 (I) -- 12 (M) -- 14 (P)
A -- 10 (I) -- 12 (M) -- 14 (P)
E --10 (I) -- 12 (M) -- 14 (P)
I= Index finger
M= Middle finger
P=Pinky finger
10, 12, and 14 are the frets. Pick down on 10, up on 12 and down on 14.
Move up half-step as far as you go, try not to shift you index.
Hope that helps |

09.18.09 | ^do that. Your fingers will stretch out in time. Bass is one of the most fun instruments to play. And I wish I could play clarinet. |

09.18.09 | thanks everyone :)
I'm nearing grade 8 on clarinet, so I thought it was time to start learning another instrument too |
BSX
09.18.09 | It's good to pick up another instrument. It'll help your music playing/knowledge overall. |
Lions
09.18.09 | Yeah, learning new instruments is great. I really want to start playing brass/woodwinds. At the moment I just know some string instruments and percs. |
