1.Thumb placement is important
Thumb placement is no small detail, but something of critical importance if you want to be a good bass player. In order to make playing the bass much easier on yourself it's important to keep the thumb of your fretting hand in the right spot. Keeping your hand setup properly makes it much easier to play your bass lines, scales and chords, and also begin to develop fast single note runs.
you must mean the impressive single note "RUNS" LMAO

yeah I'm not convinced the guys name is Jon... The translations slip up a bit in some areas...Just love it..........
"You are in charge of the low end which is VERY powerful when played at full volume."
Ha Ha, just crank it to 11 and play like a mofo.
Damn, you beat me to it! *shakes fist*
And to be fair, that's a pretty accurate statement, if your idea of "power" is the ability to make things vibrate

The sad part is that a night is about as long as it takes to become an average rock bassist.
Bass.....
A miniute to learn, a lifetime spent trying to get paid for it.
You don't have to spend long frustrating hours learning to play!
Wow, if only Jaco, Larry Graham, Marcus Miller and all the others had this excellent tool in their hands when they started playing....LOL
Sad thing is, some people actually buy into this and fork money over to these people....Poor Pete Wentz

I'm really glad that I found this. I have a gig tomorrow and I need to learn bass QUICK!

Your self-esteem will skyrocket playing live gigs in front of 25 people, most of whom are ignoring you!
HOURS? DANG, I WASTED 30 YEARS AND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR NOTHING!
ALL I NEEDED WAS 7 BUCKS AND A FEW MINUTES!!
I wonder if Berklee will issue me a refund....
Man, this website has really opened up new doors for me. I'm totally going to stop coming up with creative basslines for my band. I'm just going to crank the volume to 11 and play root notes. Then I'll look really great playing in a band and get all the ladies! Those are my only real goals anyway!
..there is this device. I almost bought it as a joke for my guitard friend:
