Here are 3 basic ways to change the tone on your instrument:

1. The first looks at positional playing, where you pick the strings will have a huge impact on your tone – You can tailor this to suite what style of music you are playing.

2. The second looks at how changing the force or pressure you apply onto the strings with your picking fingers will drastically alter you tone, as well as giving you a very wide dynamic (sound volume) range.

3. Thirdly, altering the attack angle of the picking fingers can also play a subtle role in tone production on your bass.
