You play bass? cool. How hard is it to get used to bass if you've been playing only regular 6-string lead guitar? The biggest differences that I can see are that the strings are so much bigger(especially the bass-E string), and you use the two-finger technique instead.
Find a *really* good musician (the better, the better), and observe him carefully. Can be a guitarist, pianist, bassist, whatever. Go home and use New Behavior Generator to copy this person's behavior. You'll love it. =) Also try using Prosperity - probably one of the most powerful tapes LSC puts out. You can even use Dream Play, and practice playing in your sleep to strengthen the neural circuitry that you use when playing.
Aren't paraliminals fun??
