You could use a finger pick, but they are really meant for picking your fingers. Nose picks are really hard to get. People think Hendrix played guitar with his teeth, but he was actually using a nose pick.
Thanks for the info! I always thought he was just flossing his teeth.
That would be silly.
To get a brighter tone, tune slightly sharp. Conversely, tune slightly flat for a fatter tone.
The complete history of bass lesson:
1976-2006:
“Wow, listen to that sustain!!!”
2007-now:
“How much does it weigh???”

Due to the keyboard bass revolution of the 1980s there have been no new bass players for 30 years, and all bass players got to an age where weight became important on 1st January 2007.
You will hear many professional bass players talk about their third, fourth, and fifth basses.
This is because most professional bass players have specific basses for playing minor and major thirds as well as basses for playing perfect fourths and fifths. Major and minor seconds, sixths, and sevenths can, of course, be played on any bass even though some players reserve special basses for those chord tones as well.

Every year (except leap years) on December 31st, the circle of fifths is abandoned for the circle of 365ths. The noise you hear at midnight is not fireworks, but musicians committing suicide.
Mick's not actually in the Rolling Stones. He's just a fan that keeps coming to the gigs and invading the stage.
Mick Jagger once told Keef Richards to "drop dead". Keef is staying alive just to spite Mick.
