I'll be at UK bass Day, so see you there. In the mean time could you help with question. Whilst learning the bass did you use chord structure more than scales or vice versa. At the moment I feel chords are more simplistic and scales and modes are a pain in the arse . I know this is not a straight forward question so I'll apologise now.

Actually Janek this is a naive question. A little knowledge is dangerous!! i'll come back to you when I've a bit more knowledge. See you on sunday.

there was a conversation about this in the General Instruction forum. John Goldsby even showed up and summed things up very nicely on page 3 of that thread
