Any tips on playing electric bass

hii! i've been playing bass for abt 5 years now n at first it's like super important not to give up (shocker ik) but what helped me in the beginning was trying to learn a lot of songs even if it gets frustrating after a while u will improve. DON'T MAKE THE MISTKAKE OF TRYING TO LEARN HARDER SONGS AT FIRST keep it nice n easy n then pick up the pace even if it's a little boring. 

another thing my teacher told be is that if u try to play part of a song start rlly slow at first n then go faster n faster it actually helps a lot when ur stuck at one part!! even if you mess up don't replay the whole song just practice the part that's giving you troubles :>

pay close attention to your finger positioning and use all of your fingers that'll help to play more smoothly even if it's hard at first and yes even the pinky... 

u don't need to learn theory at first but it's good to know the basics if u plan to write some songs of your own some day!

the rest is rlly up to you it's all just practice n even after 5 years i'm still not perfect at playing there's always room to improve. in the end the most important thing is to have fun bass is a super underrated instrument n if u practice regularly you'll get the hang of it :33!!!

make sure u have good posture. lugging that fucking thing around everywhere will take a toll on u. take care of ur back bro. trust.

cut your nails, get comfortable sliding around and have your strap at a normal height,, it may look cooler low down but if you still want to be getting out of bed on your own at 63 i'd recommend taking breaks from playing standing up
