As mentioned on guitar as well as Bass, you have 4 fingers so maybe try and use them, 1 finger per fret is a good guide.
Of course many players have no problem with 3 fingers but for certain type of playing you would need a strong 'pinky'

Re: Playing Bass Guitar (16 replies, posted in Guitar Techniques)
I love playing my bass, i play with fingers only as i much prefer the warmer tone that fingers produce, plus its easier to throw in some slap when ever you want too.
At its basic level a guitar player can jump on a bass and jam along using root notes but it would sound kinda bland, a good bass player knows the make up of individual chords and can fill the bottom end with conecting notes to the chords etc, creating a whole different thing.
Hope i'm not teaching anyone how to 'suck eggs'

Re: why did you pick up guitar and start playin? (24 replies, posted in Newbie Section)
I was 14 and listening to Queen's 'A kind of magic' album, The opening Riff to 'One Vision' was enough for me to start me on a long and sometimes obsesive journey.
