I hope you'll like this site. It's a great place to be, mostly. We've actually had this question discussed one month ago. You can read everything here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/179147-real-bass-players-dont-use-picks"]http://basschat.co.u...-dont-use-picks[/url] . Maybe someone has told. I haven't read the thread. Me, I'm a beginner since october last year, and I use my fingers because I never remember to find my picks. I've got 10 or 12 different picks to test and to learn from, but I simply keep forgetting. So: All the coolest and most well-respected bass players always forget their picks! Enjoy! all the best, bert Edited July 18, 2012 by BassTractor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrismuzz Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 [quote name='Lfalex v1.1' timestamp='1342627866' post='1738231'] Sorry?! What is going on here? Someone asks a question, and people can actually be bothered to moan about the question being asked, rather than answer it/ give a relevant opinion? If you can't say something nice/amusing/witty/informative, then why bother? (*off topic excluded ) Have you really got [i]that[/i] much time to kill... [/quote] It can be such a touchy subject due to all the unnecessary judgements based upon whether a bassist uses a pick or not... Its natural for people to get defensive about it. I used to look down upon pick players when i was a teenager, but all it did was close the door to a certain approach as I can now only play proficiently with my fingers!

ashevans09 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I guess this has already been answered a million times in this thread but hey I'm not above shamelessly bumping my post count I'd say it's all contextual really, depends what sounds best for the song. On my band's EP I switched between the two and they both worked great for the songs. Love that P bass + pick growl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spencer.b Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I like the pick for even rhythmic articulation especially when doubling a guitar line, occasionally even a few funky 16s ala Bobby Vega but I mainly play fingerstyle, When I first started I remember some kids from a punk band calling me both gay and a fanny tickler for playing fingerstyle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thread is especially inspiring seeing as the Dutch "pik" and the Norwegian "pikk" sometimes are pulled out of bass players' trousers. No, these are not roosters, and no, of course it's not the groupies pulling them out. best, bert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
