Tabs or music

G'day
a question for all those that have learned to play bass well.
If you consider yourself to be a good bass player,...could you tell me, did you learn to play bass by reading bass tabs, or did you learn to read music. And if you did learn to read music, are you a better bassist because you learned to read music, and any other comments are appreciated, (except for those that might be telling me I have this in the wrong section....get over it, I am still finding my way around this forum) to everybody else...thanks
P.S. I did put this in the wrong spot, so someone is going to have a whinge....Michael I think his name is

I learned from a bit of both. However I would say that learning from music has definitely made me a better bassist.

Anything you learn that adds to the sum of your abilities makes you better, I suppose, pretty much by definition. So stay open minded.

Maybe you should have a look at this...

A friendly reminder about the Tab forum rules

And then perhaps this...
