  1. My hands aren't anywhere near big enough to play an octave with index and ring on left hand - I use index on the low string, and on the high string have the little finger fretting the note with my other two fingers behind the little finger helping it push the high string down. That way i'm not stretching or pushing too hard and my hand is in a natural octave shape. YMMV (your mitts may vary)

    Topo Morto, that's a bit advanced for me! Little finger! I just need to be comfortable enough to play basic octaves.

    It's more that I'm sh*te and need as many fingers on call as possible in the hope that one of them might be able to make it in time!

  3. Usually : ring finger for the low note; index and middle for the high

    occasionally : little finger for the low note; ring, index and middle to have fun on the high note.

    also occasionally : thumb for low note, all 3 'big' fingers together for high, in a crab-like pincer motion

    another thought would be - why not combine slap and finger style? with the right bass, setup and maybe a bit of compression, slap doesn't have to be loads louder than finger style...
