I was a nearly always finger style bassist and thought it was the best for playing rock on my PBass and EB Stingray before that however …,
Ive flipped to the dark side of pick playing 100% and after missing that initial change in tone you get from fingers I’ve found the benefit of pick playing as follows
1: I can play faster and although speed was good with fingers I can go faster with a pick and palm mute
2: Clarity of notes is better in a single guitar band where I’m filling the band sound with the guitarist
3: Amp volume seems louder
4: drive tone is clearer
In a band context I now see why playing a PBass with a pick for rock really does work well and I’m glad I made the effort to change
As an ex guitarist I found the swop very easy and quick
I strongly recommended buying a few triangle Tortex picks and giving it a go
