what is the 1-2-4 style?

thanks for all of the suggestions, i will still continue to practice on my current one. haha, but now i'm looking for a shortscale 5 string bass just in case

haha i'm already 19

do u have any recommendations?

Hi, So i bought a fender jazz bass last year. Its worked well for me so far, but as i continue to learn harder songs, it gets my fingers weak. Sometimes I am not able to stretch that far and when I do, my hand placement gets messed up. This coming year, I want to play more funky bass riffs...

Do most bassists play in position? Like position 1, 2, 3 etc.? I asked a couple and they said no, but I wanted to know if it is right or wrong

haha, yeah. Oh well, i'll get a decent one now and maybe later i'll get a better one :D

So many choices.. lol

i looked at the big muff pi pedal, that looks pretty good

I want to buy an effects pedal this summer. I want a good one for a good price. Nothing over $100, I know thats cheap :D. I am looking for the one that Chris Wolstenholme uses from MUSE. Kind of a fuzzy noise.

Yes Sir!

Well. I'm playing it now. The stretching is still a problem, like I can't make my pinky push down hard enough, and when i do push it down, i can't make my index. So what I have been doing is just using my index finger and going up and down the neck to play the notes, its this a good way or a bad...

Alright, thanks. I guess I just have to move quicker

5'4" "That is your entire problem then. If I do what you are doing that is all I can span my hand too. If I am going to play the note F and move up to G# to play with my pinky, my thumb is rested about where the fist dot marker is, or between the second and third frets." Ah, I will try that...

Its behind my index finger. And what do you mean center of the back neck? The center of the entire neck or between my two fingers?
