i dont like to play with a pick.

does it only work on fast (or noisy) songs?

sadly, i'm the same too. dont think i can use a pic.


you two bassist oso ah?! swt lah.

me usually use 2 fingers, sometimes the 3rd finger. rarely 4 fingers. thats me

haha i guess to get better playing style, is to just keep building finger strength and articulation.

the only way to get that is to play play play loh.

wow then u must be pros!

wtf cheater hahahaha!

anyway, i think to get the notes out evenly (for me) is using 2 fingers. i find that when i play with the 3rd one together, it tends to get uneven. i guess thats due to lack of practice.
but four fingers!! haha really out of my league

i guess u can use different techniques for different people. after all we are all not built the same arent we?
different people use different techniques to compensate for playing style, physical build up and even according to their equipment.
so i guess u cant really say which technique or fingerstyle is better.



some 2 fingers could be faster then 4 fingers. depends on the god given talent!

fuh. me at office, cant see the video.

the skirt damn maut wei

actually, i learnt bass myself n from playing in church.
amateur level at the moment. havent read much books.
just play by ear n feel.

fingering / scales are technical aspects of it. u need to get some basic music theory first.

haha then i guess your friend has plenty of talent.
i only have noobish skills. play so long, but no improvement

music theory about scales n stuff.
fingerings actually are just recommendation to which finger should be for which note.
its just an idea, not a hard n fast rule.

holy freaking @#!@#!@#....... she's so good. haha she pwns me hands down.

i really like the way japanese play their basses. their style is way more funky wei

omg i'm in love with her

i'd hit her too!

yep its true. she / he is pretty good.
those basslines are typical of japanese songs. they seem to play a whole lot more notes.
but thats their style, and their dimension of playing is a whole lot nicer than the stuff u hear on pop songs.

there is a sad but true feeling that she's a guy. no boobs, no face, her hands are covered?
usually its hard to play with hands covered like that, but its like purposely to hide those big hands / arms too.
anyway just hope i'm wrong, for my imaginations sake

we dont like dudes!!!

haha ibanez? i used that last time, the church wan.
now bought my own yamaha. i think its a little better.

yamaha + ibanez is suited for asian frame n stuff.
smaller.

anyone wanna sell their expensive basses to me cheaply?

just trying my luck lolz!

haha really or not wan? the timing must be damn good leh. should be possible but then abit hard to coordinate 75 ppls

er about the bass thing, maybe it will help u abit but then when u get more advanced its nothing wan. coz bass playing style is totally different from the guitar.

of course u can ler. just that u have to start from the basics only lor.

if u learn abit of guitar, it will help u when u learn the bass. this is coz they're kinda similiar in the theory. so that will help u. but playing style n all, thats different.
same thing for the bass. if u learn bass first, then go guitar, then u have some knowledge and it will help u pick it up fast. style still different.
so in the end the same thing.

bout the song, maybe i can help u. but i have to go out. just came back to bathe.
maybe someone else can help

hmm if pain when sliding, then i think your fingers just not used to it yet kua. but maybe u can try a lighter gauge for your strings.

what strings are u using?

d'addario or something?
haha i think i'm using the same ones too.

what bass are u using btw?
where u stay? we should jamming

well whatever it is, it is hawt!

oooo i not sure 4 strings how much. i think around 70-80 kua. coz my 5string is about rm95 like that

wahlau dude, u stay very the far away. how to jam

of course man.

bass > electric guitar any day.

expensive la. poor ppl need poor strings!
