I recently started playing bass. Any tips for a begginer? So far I know how to tune it, and im learning how to read tabs (Though I prefer an actual musical score)

Pluck E and A (the two lowest strings) with your thumb. Pluck D and G (the two highest strings) with both your forefinger and middle finger. It may seem strange at first, but it provides for better mobility, thus more fluent playing. [url=http://www.traditionalmusic.co.uk/folk-music-guitar-tab/bass_rigadoon.htm]DON'T DROP THE BASS[/url].

I've played string bass for 4 years (haven't for the past 2 years :P) Couldn't be that different except for size... I couldn't start to explain how to start besides maybe saying "I hope you have thick skin on dem fingers"
