I'm a guitar player and so after 35 years of playing with a pick, I the play bass with one as well. I'd suggest that the Dunlop John Petrucci picks are very good on a bass. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dunlop-Petrucci-Signature-1-50mm-Plectrums/dp/B00FFZ5F14/ref=sr_1_5?crid=3IYKANNPVFTPU&dchild=1&keywords=dunlop+john+petrucci+picks&qid=1615650228&sprefix=dunlop+John+%2Caps%2C172&sr=8-5 Also, for me all the muting comes from the palm and the fretting hand on both instruments, so I have no issues with muting. You have to mute one guitar when playing at gig volumes and so you learn the technique pretty quickly and it translates to bass very well. Another tip I have found useful and a few of my bass player mates have now benefited from, is the 'upward pick slant' technique, which if you Google Troy Grady or do a YouTube search, you will find plenty of useful videos on. It just helps with consistency and stops your picking hand getting caught up one strings when you string skip or if you want to play fast. Anyway, hope that helps any player that find plectrums awkward.

Saw the review here https://www.gearnews.com/chowny-fuzzster-pedal-new-budget-bass-fuzz-uk/ Looks good

Have three players to audition now. So hopefully can close this ad asap.

Just essential that the player can use a pick properly as we need that sound for the songs. Have a few guys trying out this week, so hopefully get the position filled soon. Unfortunately the last couple that tried out could not handle a pick and so we couldn't use them. So just to be clear we really need a pick player to fill this position.

The style of music we play needs that pick attack. Need a bass player that can handle using a plectrum. It just has that fantastic sound you won't get from fingers.
