in the past i used my pinkie only when i had to.now i use it eveytime i go 4 frets away.another way my playing has evolved is that i moved totally away from the bridge.i pick btwn the neck and pup.the strings on my main bass are almost 3 years old. and i play the shit outta that thing.i mean like thrash punk, heavy shit and i was in a band as a guitar player for 10 months we practiced once a week for 3 hours and did 12 gigs,i only broke 1 string the whole time.and they were already a few months old when i started playing with that band.now that i think about it it's probably because of playing guitar that i'm using my pinkie more from playing chords.
