tips for a beginner!

[bassment01]

i have been playing my crappy bass for a little bit and i have been saving up money for a better bass or some better equipment. Until then i want to get better on the bass i have.

Can someone suggest an easy song or two for a bass player who is just starting out?

WITH OR WITHOUT YOU - U2
Every Breath You Take - The Police
Stir It Up - Bob Marley
Stand By Me - Ben E King
Dancing in the Dark - Bruce Springsteen
ALl the Small Things - BLink 182 (Easy for the left hand, bit more of a challenge for the right hand)
Roxanne - The Police
So Lonely - The Police

the entire Ramones back catelogue is good stuff for dudes who are just starting... Heck they're still fun even when you've been at it for a while.
