I'm trying to work out how to restructure my life so that the second half is built around MD roles and so on. I have no idea how to get there but I know I'm good at it.
Otherwise I'd say it's good to think of it as a percussion instrument.
That was my gig in the primary school band
The rest is fairly self explanatory.
(Sorry )
I would also say that even if you don't get that good at bass, it's worth it to be able to hear the bass in songs (I never used to hear bass at all!) and understand better what all of the instruments are doing.

I play a lot of other bass with my fingers though, especially fretless which doesn’t really sound right with a pick - I have tried, just to see. Neither is right or wrong any more than it is on a guitar.
Black Velvet - Alannah Myles.
The album is self-titled, but I would strongly advise you don’t buy it… it’s appalling. The biggest contrast between one great song and an album full of total tosh that I can think of.

During the Sting/Miller Beato interview, Stingo trots out his favourite line about a guitar chord only being what it appears to be provided that he plays its root note on the bass. As soon as he hits the fifth, seventh or ninth, the name of the chord changes. (See also James Paul McCartney.)
Every covers band I've been in has played it. I played it on the bass though.

It's one of the rare songs that sounds absolutely awful in anything but the right key.
