Keep after the bass. It takes work. It's not an easy instrument, but you'll get there....

That was great!!
Yeah I think this is week 3 of practice for me. I am doing 3 days a week and average about 20 minutes a day.
I'll get it eventually.

I'm a terrible bass player, but I get by on certain numbers when needed. I rely should put more effort into the bass, but it always seems that time is short and I have to move onto the next project rapidly.

I'd love to play more intricate bass parts and it sounds like you are already on your way!!!

Here is my next week of progress with the 5 string.
I am starting to build some finger strength in my strumming hand, now I just need to start controlling the amount of pressure I use.
You can tell in this track that my attack isnt even yet, but at least my hand isnt getting as tired as quickly.

Here it is, the bass riff ..thats right, I said it! I used Bass and Riff in the same sentence ... or fragmented sentence ... awwww who cares, unless you are an english teacher!

Nice work!!
 
Here is my first play test of my new Ibanez 605 (aka. The Black Mamba)
I hooked it up to my little Fender Rumble practice amp. The EQ on the amp was set staight up to noon on everything.
I didn't mic it, in hind sight I should have.
But I think you'll get an idea of what it sounds like more or less.
This is also my first time playing with a 3mm Big Stubby pick, instead of plucking with my fingers.

 
I don't know how your Rumble is @LiveeviL2000 , but I have a little Ibanez 15watt bass amp I got in a flip deal, and it gets CRAZY LOUD... Like, I turned it up to about the 10 or 11 mark and was stunned as it rattled the walls... No idea what it sounds like wide open as I never went past about half way.

Basically the same thing. 15w and I don’t go over the 10:00 setting.
