Oh man, I never could have pulled that off. I hate playing basses that I'm not used to, in other words, basses that aren't mine. Maybe it's a mental thing but I spend so much time just trying to play notes in tune on another instruments that everything else goes to hell in a handbasket.

A lot of jazz musicians, who play on unfimilar basses on a regular basis say that its an aquired skill. One guy mentioned that in a lesson with Larry Grenadier he (Larry) played the A in thumb position out of tune once, found the note and proceeded to play everything else for the rest of the 90+ minute lesson perfectly in tune on my friend's bass.

For now, I'm just gonna try to play in tune on one instrument!
