Well just wanted to know how you all played your basses. I don't really want to know how often you run or how long your bass solo is just where you play. Do you play mainly deep notes to fullfil you roll as bass player. Do you play mid to help drive the song or play high lead type style like in New Order. Some people play mainly on the D and G string to get that slightly harder sound from thier bass. I play four string and sadly this isn't really aimed at more than a fiver but feel free to join in.
