Not really, bassists have been using picks in all styles of music. It's more up to the individual player's preference than the genre. Picks and fingers give very different tones so a lot of bassists like to use both for different songs/parts. A pick can often give the extra clarity you want for a fast part, without the need for changing your amp settings. - Ice7String
what sounds good IS good but ya dude the traditional way to play electric bass is with a pick, idk, as far as picks il say this, it'l take a lot for a pick bassist to impress me.
Yeah, people play with their fingers, but people also play with picks. I use them both. So? Different types of music calls for different types of playing. Its extremely stupid to say one style is "better" than another.
elitist?...... ok lol sounds to me like you're just nonsensical, and a crybaby. "waaaa it's good!!"
I didn't say "you shouldn't play with a pick"
I said that the TRADITIONAL way to play is with your fingers, if you wanna get even more technical you can say that the real way is with a bow.
Get over it, that barely audible diatonic based bass solo didn't impress me musically or technically, THIS video on the other hand blows me away and his technique had nothing to do with my judgement prick.
Don't put fucking words in my mouth. I never claimed that you said "you shouldn't play with a pick". I said just pointed out your "point" that playing with fingers is the traditional way to play bass, and my subsequent response of "so fucking whats your point?"
And the purpose of me showing that video to you was not illustrate to you that pick bassists can do pretty much most what finger bassists can. Plus, I don't give a shit about what you like. Its just that you're wrong.
you idiot i was quoting myself. ...about what I WOULDN'T SAY.
learn to read... cause i also said "what sounds good IS good"
so lets think.... hmm from that it seems like it's just my personal preference to stray away from pick bass TECHNIQUE right?
so lets get on the correct page here..
my OPINION is that pick bass should be used rarely in music. like virtually never. and that pick bass shredding is lazy, it's like playing classical guitar with a pick. it's useless.
You can't. And even if you could, the whole book and DVD is in Japanese. I have all of his books. The first book alone will give you all the different techniques to basically play anything you have heard played on a bass. Masaki explains to you the technique that Billy Sheehan, Steve Harris, Stuart Hamm, Rob Trujillo, Victor Wooten, Jeff Berlin and more. Thats basically what he did that video there, only it's real name is Technical Resonance, him playing most of the different techniques in book
and no way his 3 finger technique only goes as far as mediocre he doesn't switch stings or alternate fingers when he plucks. and his slap technique is not even close to coming to victor wooten's it' more like flea's, it's still good though.
his tapping is good but it's not at peak of what it can be.
dude this guy's music is better than his technique.
don't get me wrong the technique is amazing, but it doesn't compare to victor's or sheehan's.

I didn't ask you ass, and i was replying to this other dude giving this guy way more credit tha he deserved, so i give a fuck and he seems like to as well.
lol dude your the one who though me how to play the fianl.. thats all i gata say, I was replaying to the dude who though the real way to play a bass was whit a pick, you and i both know its originally played whit fingers, even though bassists have started using picks
Yeah, it does sound like something on F-Zero or like a Sonic the Hedgehog game. This is crazy......I think my brain just exploded from the intensness of this song...
umm i think i know the book where to get this song. but it may be the Love my bones one. i just know how to get the backing track for that one. because i've found it
The tabs aren't in the book that comes with the DVD, but they are in another book from the same series-- "ベース・マガジン 地獄のメカニカル・トレーニング・フレーズ 史上最凶トレーニングで修行せよ!"
I asked my friend the same thing and he told me this:
its not really a song. i think the title was "地獄の沙汰も腕次第" that means "An instruction from hell, is all depends on your skill"(sorry for my crappy translation) So he played that solo as if it was a message from hell. i don kno. he loves that kind of stuff.
Heh, not quite. Its from a guitar instructional series. Its called the 'From hell series' and its the most extreme bass/guitar training manual around. This is one of the songs.
