Don't give up the guitar.Sumi Sorry it didn't post.anyway it's good you want to learn bass also but dont give up on guitar,I'll bet if you look back and see how far that you have come it will amaze you.The vid I was going to post was one of Greg Irwin,he has finger fitness excerises and they are great so have a look.I know that what you think is a weakness is really one of your strong points.Sumi

As a guitar player, it is kind of fun to pick up one of those four-string logs once in a while. A nice change of pace. It's also nice to be able to show your bass player what you want him to play by picking up a bass and showing him, rather than just trying to get him to follow you. Or so I hear, anyway.

Doh!

I just realized that there isn't a PM function here.

Viking, you can e-mail me at casscade30@yahoo.com if you want to get together to do some jamming. I have a decent bass collection if you want to try them out.

I'll not brook such condescension!
