Guys,
Until now i have generally played with fingers, resisting the pick out of pure snobbery and a desire to learn to play the bass "properly".
I am beginning to appreciate the sounds produced using a pick and am now trying some of the songs we play with a pick where i have previously used fingers... With some very positive results!
Now my problem is that when playing with fingers I generally have the bass up quite high, just touching my chest. However with a pick I am far more comfortable with the bass hanging lower, near my waist. Where I previously used a pick for one song in our set list, and was happy to just suffer the bass being in the 'wrong' position. Now I am using a pick more often I am finding i'd prefer to have the bass lower for these songs.
How do you guys cope when switching between pick and fingers? Change straps during the set? Change basses?
