Some people get tied up with trying to play crazy stuff on the bass. There's nothing wrong with that, and you should do all that, if you can. But before you can go nuts playing crazy fast stuff, you need to learn how to lay down a basic groove...

This apply for Drummers & Guitarists as well. I don't know why are beginners always thinking of playing as fast as they can rather than concentrating on learning the musical basics & playing dynamics before trying the shred stuff. Also they never seem to believe what experts say about speed , which is developed naturaly by time.
