How Do You Play Bass? (bass, band)

Well, for starters, I play a 6-string bass, (B-high C), and play with fingers only. I use all 4 fingers (Index, Pinkie, Ring, Middle) for blisteringly fast stuff, and 2 or 3 fingers (depending on timing) for the rest. I use tapping a bit in some of our songs, ie: our song Heaven's Advocate, where there's a little bass solo at the end of the song utilizing a 2-handed tapping technique that's actually quite easy to do, but sounds cool as hell. Click on the link at the bottom of my sig., and you will hear it right at the end of the song.

Cheers,
