Best Overall Bass Instructional Supplement?

[namuxtree]

Hi, I'm looking to buy a bass instructional (preferably with DVD's and books/PDF to boost my bass playing. I'm looking for one that's well rounded and teaches a variety of theory and technique (if slapping is included that'd be awesome). I know this is a really subjective topic so I'd like to hear everyone's opinions. Happy discussing!

I think you'll find the general consensus around here is that in terms of books/dvds, Ed Fredland's bass method is the most comprehensive and covers most of what your after.

I think the best bass instructional supplement is a good teacher ;-) Barring that, play in a band with musicians who are better than you ('better', of course, being subjective) to learn from.

Can't go wrong with Roy Vogt's [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]. Very well rounded and thorough. Follow the link in my sig to read about my experience with it.

+1 on Roy Vogt's course. If you go through all the lessons and don't move on until you've really grasped the current lesson...you'll have everything you need. The hostess of the series ain't too hard on the eyes either!

+1. Not alot on the slap, but very well rounded indeed.
