I play electric bass. I have a number of them, but here I am sitting in a very messy practice room (it's also a sewing room) with my 1963 Precision bass:
Because I learned bass when playing in orchestra in Jr. High and High School, I tend to play with my thumb anchored on the base of the neck - a somewhat unusual spot for finger-style electric bass players. I do move away from that spot for certain sounds, especially when I need a more percussive attack.
