my bass Technique?

1. If youre comfortable with it all, which it sounds like it, then youre set. Though I raised my bass, via strap, to about upper stomach level and my playing increased immensely.

2. Using proper punctuation, and new paragraphs helps immensely. Im not bashing, Im telling you from experience.

 

I can see why guys/girls play way down, because it looks cool..(not me im a jazzer) but it really isnt the most efficient way of the playing bass..

Its difficult to change the way you play a bass, because we all have our image we want to put across..but playing a bass way down low is no good for efficient playing..especially solos..how low do you wear your bass?

 

What Bubinga said.

Looking cool is nice and all, but good playing will get you much farther. Pull up your bass, your speed will increase, along with solos and accuracy. If you dont like it after a week or two, put it back.

Worth a shot, eh?

 

Oh that scamp Flea, has alot to answer for!

 

Flea is a great bassist, but you dont see him pulling off Wooten-esque solos that low..

But you see Wooten pulling off Flea solos that high.

Hm.. Im forming a simple hypothesis now..

 

Not to mention playing with your bass in a higher position will reduce the risk of chronic hand problems. I went from playing low to playing high, and never looked back.
