Mr Gizmo Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 I uses Fred Kelly\heavy tumb picks and love being able to switch between pick and finger style even within a song. Works great for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtcat Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Andy Billups (I may well have spelt that wrong), who I believe is a member here, used thumb picks to great effect in The Hamsters who were my absolute favourite touring pub band as I grew up. It was due to a medical condition and I believe he adapted them so he could use his pick of choice. Absolutely wonderful bass player and the reason I picked up a bass as a teenager.

Bassfinger Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 I fingerpick on the guitar and have tried a thumb pick but never got on, just use my thumb. On the bass I use Tortex Triangle, big old things that take some effort to mishandle and drop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nilorius Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 I can't imagine for me to use it fine, but those who love it and do it - go on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
