4 fret finger stretch

[Muaguana]

My pinky is double jointed. That helps quite a bit with OFPF on the lower frets.

I'm a devotee of the OFPF technique in the sense that it should be one of the most basic items in any bassist's toolbox, which is reason enough to have it ready for use at any time. But that DOESN'T mean that it MUST be used on any situation. This guy perfectly sums up my philosophy on the subject.

I used to strictly adhere to the 1 finger per fret "rule" when I was younger but noticed that the 1-2-4 was way more comfortable as I didnt have to bend my hand as much to reach the notes. I can do 1 finger per fret and will use it if the line calls for it, but most times I prefer not to.
