I have been playing bass for about 8 months now, teaching myself has been going pretty well and people that hear me are impressed at the level I'm at. So, now I've got all the basics down and can play pretty confidently I was wondering about getting about a book, DVD or CD-ROM to develop my technique and improve my speed, accuracy, dexterity, etc.

I play mostly rock/metal using fingerstyle, or a pick occasionally, if that helps :)

Don't buy E media's Bass Cd-rom, It teaches everything backwards!

I've used Bassbooks.com several times to the UK shipping cost is not too bad and the books usually show up within 4-5 days or so

If not then try Amazon.co.uk

Bump :)

There must be something someone can suggest :confused:

For some reason the industry is hesitant putting their stuff on DVD.

Some books I can recommend:

Fingerboard Harmony For Bass by Gary Willis
HL00695043
ISBN 0-7935-6043-8

Bass Fitness by Joshquin Des Pres

Chuck Sher/Marc Johnson
Concepts For Bass Soloing (great book!)
