A bass is generally played by alternating two notes. As you stretch your string and sink in into the grove at the top of the neck, try to tune it in a relaxed position to the lower of the two notes. This way the high note can be fretted on the fingerboard. Some bending is necessary to keep it in tune but try to keep it to a minimum with the way your string is set. As you find your high note and a comfortable hand position, just bend the neck a little until you are in tune. Keeping the same hand position, bend the neck back and you will be in the next chord. Go back to your original position and move your little finger down about a hand width and you are in your third chord.
