I've noticed that different sound, too, that comes from playing the same note with two fingers instead of one, but I don't know how to fix it.

THIS one nails it, I think. All other advice taken aboard, and that's what I'm working for now. I guess my frustration is (a) I'm trying to learn to be a musician first, then a band member and (b) my guitar is trying to do the opposite. Hey, who was saying that playing bass is easy???

I'm still a rookie bassist, but I've been playing for a few months with a rock guitarist and drummer on some of the guitarist's original songs. Most (OK, all) of his songs are major chords. He doesn't know much about music -- like what key the song is in, for example. I've pretty much settled on...

I'm also a rookie (playing only about a year); started out using one finger and my thumb, but now I'm using two fingers more, and my playing has improved.

Hi, I'm Phillip, just found this website/forum. I've been playing for a year, only instrument I've ever tried to play. Still don't know much about nothing...learning every day as I go.
