firstly - Jaffa cakes aren't bicuits. They're legally cakes. Also they don't contain orange, but in fact apricot. Oooo! Shippers! I'm learning Bass what help can you give me? I'm a complete beginner. Develop the strength in your little finger - you will need to use it lots. Scales are useful to know, or just simple patterns that you can use to develop your speed particularly between changing strings. try to experiment with the different sounds you can make by play different parts of the string, muting and plucking/slapping etc. An finally Kit Kat's are not biscuits. ok Cheers, one question though, why my little finger?

That's the maximum difference you'll normally need because the 5th fret will always be the same fret, just up a string.
