welcome noni  
 
do you have an alembic bass or something else if its an alembic then u should post some pictures as they will be requested  
 
there is one certain way to improve and that is to practice every day practice scales and other theory to help with selecting the right notes i am sure some of the more experienced bass players will beable to offer more practical advice but bottom line you have to practice.

Hi there, are you from Japan?

Welcome to the group!  If you want to play like John Patitucci as soon as possible then, like Mint Bass said, practice every day; scales, arpeggios, left and right hand technique, music theory, groove, melody.
 
I've heard of Casiopea, but I don't think I've heard any of their music.  Does anyone know of a web site with sound clips?

Found something.  These are clips from Tetsuo Sakurai's album Gentle Hearts with guitarist Greg Howe and drummer Dennis Chambers.

Dear Alembicians,
 
Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
 
Beware!
 
Alemboid

I buy all my Alembics from Indonesia.  What me worry? Sometimes it is just a buyer beware world out there.

English is not my native language, but these typos seemed a bit artificial to me. Just check the user profile, brothers ...  
 
BTW: amel = alem ... ?
