    Where on the internet can I find a diagram of a bass's neck that shows all of the notes? Thanks for your feedback.

    You can get it right here:D

    4 String bass goes like this:
    Low E to G, with each note corresponding to a fret. The notes begin on the open string and end on the 12th fret. For example, the 5th note on the line indicates the note on the 5th fret.

    E--F--F#-G--G#-A--A#-B--C--C#--D--D#--E
    A--A#-B--C--C#-D--D#-E--F--F#--G--G#--A
    D--D#-E--F--F#-G--G#-A--A#-B---C--C#--D
    G--G#-A--A#-B--C--C#-D--D#-E---F--F#--G

    A# is the same as B flat
    D# is the same as E flat
    C# is the same as D flat
    G# is the same as A flat
    F# is the same as G flat

    I used sharps for this instead of flats, because I can't write out a flat symbol on a computer.

    Hope this helps

    Thanks alot. I'm gonna buy some stickers that you put on the bass's neck so you can see the notes sometime; but I think it would be wise to learn them without the aid of stickers dirst.
