JTUK Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Dave Pegg does ok with a pick.. in a medium not reknown for it. Glenn Hughes and Roger Glover also did more than straight 8's... Anthony Jackson..?? but he sounds so good whatever he plays. T-Bone..??? there are a good few...for sure. But picks really excel, for me, when you want that strong driving metronome force right in the with the drums. Foos are a case in point Try it with a 4 fingered technique for fun.. which incidently, I think, started way back in the early 80's when Abe L got going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greggo Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 Yeah Nate from Foo's is really good - I love the fills he does. Krist on Nirvana's nevermind album has a great bass tOne come to think of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may do a pick bass take of all song's my current band has recorded and see which works better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rogerstodge Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 [quote name='RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE' timestamp='1350649519' post='1841730'] The people who notice most are your band members IMHO . Wouldn't think the crowd would, except for the odd beard twitcher.) Personally , I do. both , which is always handy. It means that if I were to join another band, I'd be able to adapt to the preferences to my band mates quickly. [/quote]beard twitcher..

The Dark Lord Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 [quote name='StephenFerguson' timestamp='1350624063' post='1841313'] ....., if you are more adept with a pick then don't put aesthetics above sound.
