If you could have a supernatural bass playing ability, what would it be?

A 25th hour in the day that I can only use to practice.

I'd actually be down with the tuning one, but I want it for any instrument. That'd be really handy for the 12-stringer, the cheap mandolin, and the cigar box bass with unusable tuners.

While I feel that I'm at least a decent player I'll never be the kind of player that will amaze people with a technical ability, like Victor Wooten or Henrik Linder. Fine.

I would love nothing more than to have the ability to posses Paul McCartney's skill of playing the right note at the right time with the right feel for the kind of music that I play. Fact is, as I'm working things out and am stuck on something I always think "what would McCartney do?" Of course I'll never know but that's what I try to do.

If I could do that, I'd be in musical heaven.

To switch the styles so easily that it is no effort at all, to be able to play anything I think of the moment I think of it, to have a perfect control of both hands at any time, to play as accurately and smoothly as possible and to always be in perfect intonation on the fretless. In other words to play like Michael Manring!

The ability to be Nathan East.

Perfect intonation on DB and fretless electric!

[Joe Nerve]

I always though it would be neat to be able to robot dance while playing bass. Break dancing while playing would probably be even cooler.

The ability to ALWAYS play EXACTLY what the music calls for, to stay in the pocket but get frisky when need be. Rawr.

To be able to play flawlessly,any bass, regardless of quality or setup, as if it were a custom made for me instrument.
