Hello
I am a newbe with the bass and i wonder if you could help me out on something.

In a bass tab there are some numbers, and I wonder what they mean.

Please help me....

What does the numbers mean?
G|----------------------------------|
D|---------------------------2------|
A|---2-------5-------4--------------|
E|----------------------------------|

I know you asked Dann Glenn, but I can help you now so I might as well.

The first 2 means play the second fret of the A-string.
The 5 means play the fifth fret of the A-string. The four means fret the fourth fret of the A string. Then the last 2 means fret the secomnd fret of the D-String.

No time is indicated, but I assume as the measure has only four notes, these are quarter notes and are all held for the same amount of time.

If you need further explanation, please ask.
