bassbiscuits Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 I’m guessing they’d say “he’s a good fretless player…” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 They would probably be more preoccupied with their own playing and wouldn't care enough about yours to make any kind of judgement either way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lozz196 Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Going by what I`ve heard at The London Bass Guitar Show you`d probably be named as a bad bassist. I remember trying a bass out there and playing Warhead by The UK Subs with a plectrum and people were literally open-mouthed, seems I wasn`t a part of the slappers gang. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassAdder60 Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 I believe there’s a talented bass player kind of folk and then there are literally 1000’s of acceptable bass players that do what’s needed for the band they are part of. Highly talented doesn’t always make a good team player or band asset but being good enough and fitting in are more important in my view Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nail Soup Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 People may refer to you as a good player with the added bonus of not being able to slap. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I carry around a pick for this reason. I’ve only been playing a year and I’ve yet to meet anyone else who plays with a pick. I am learning to play with fingers but only as I might play at church one day. I have zero interest in learning how to slap, in reality it isn’t that useful for most songs/music styles and the type of music it does fit into I don’t really like. I went into a music shop to try a bass last week and immediately scooped out the mids and tried a Less Than Jake song, I don’t think people do that often! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
