Thank you very much Dr. Neher. -Alisha Nichols

This is what I was looking at and concerned about. The strings are loose in this image.

Okay. I just used to study with Dr. N and thought to ask. Thanks.

It seems to be warped which is causing it to lean chronically.

I should know this answer after playing for 20+ years, but I don't. I came across a student who had a bridge that is chronically leaning towards the fingerboard and caught it before rehearsal doing just that. The bridge seems to also be leaning where the adjusters connect. My concern is that...

I have a student with an adjustable bridge. I can't seem to tell if it's beyond saving or if we need to take it into someone to adjust the feet properly for it. It keeps leaning towards the fingerboard instead if being parallel where the screws are.

:) thanks Ritchie

I downloaded Leibman's "Funk Bass" from Nook. It's covers everything I needed to know and then some. Thank you for the help.

There are also things like trills and turns that I am specifically interested in. I need to avoid slapping if possible.

Yes he does.

Is there any literature out there that someone would recommend for writing a successful funky bass line that lists common idiosyncrasies that define the style?

This is a real post?? Seriously?

:) Thanks
