An answer that might help is that on stringed instruments, there's positions where you are supposed to put your hand to help find notes. A good book to check out if you want to learn Double Bass is the book, "New Method for the Double Bass" by F. Simandl. It's a great book on learning how to play the Bass and to explain all the different positions even if you're not planning to use the bow.
I get more pulling force with a "two-finger" pull, this is so obvious to me, that you cut down on finger wear and tear by so doing, and therefore save 50% on tape!
K, We follow your much helpful lecture which deserves much applaud. In an earlier duration before telephone line pulling Austruan bred Ludwig Streicher whom might've been one of the protypical Herman Rheinshagen adherants Streicher most likely went on to perculate one of the augustly Carl Ditters Von Ditterdorf's 18th descenary pieces by memory.
Most players DON'T have perfect pitch--just relative pitch (that you can hear whether a note is in tune when comparing it with another note). That can be learned and developed. But until you get good at that, you just put your fingers in the right place (maybe make marks on the side of the neck...) and that will get you pretty close!
A big question I have had for a really long time, about any stringed instrument without frets, is how to finger the frets. I mean, what if you don't have perfect pitch, how are you going to know exactly where to hold the string down with your left hand to produce a really good note?
OK new to this,, guitarist here.. OK, how much for a decent one, where to get one, how to amplify it for gigs, tell me everythng I need to know, thanks..

Anchor you thumb!,..correct,.however, your distance from end of fingerboard should be about 2-1/2 to 3 inches, ideally!
