Finger Plucking hand technique on the electric bass begins with players finding their optimal playing and thumb positions,this refers to the use of your index and middle fingers (some bass players use more) to pluck each note. No matter what kind of music you are playing.
Placement and Playing:
The usual method of right hand placement is to anchor your thumb on one of the pickups, the bass body, or the edge of the fret board. With your thumb firmly planted, your fingers have leverage to pluck the strings. Another method is to move your thumb to rest on the string below the one you are playing, shifting it up and down as needed. Use whichever method feels most natural to you.
Really, there is no right or wrong way to choose which finger plays which note.Generally, it is best to alternate plucking fingers. When you pluck a string, draw your finger across the string, rather than pulling it up away from the body. When your finger releases the string, it should come to rest against the next string (unless you played the lowest string).
