[Forkenzo]

this guys obviously plays with a pick all the time, because his finger technic isnt that great

[337bass]

bass can be played with whatever you want fingures pick thumb whatever. Everyone that says ohohoh bass is playd only with fingures are the ones that have never picked one up ...Megadeth motley crue guns n roses... thats just a few of the bands that use picks! and many more. All badass.

[houssam1997]

rule 1:Bass = fingers

[PAPERisFUN]

YOU DON'T PLAY A BASS WITH A PICK!

[penguim1996]

[PAPERisFUN]

@penguim1996 LIES

[penguim1996]

[AldoZuper]

@PAPERisFUN yes you can dumbass!!



[sakarilind]

@PAPERisFUN for example Nikki Sixx from Motley Crue plays with a pick, amongst many others, just to let you know

[randaomboy]

well its easier to play bass since you rarely go beyond the 5th fret while guitar you usaully vary between 1 to 12 frets. The only real way to be good at an instrument is throught practice.O and dont play acoustic bass with electric guitar it sounds terrible.

Thanks man, I found this one very helpful.

[Kanucks93]

which would be easier to learn?

bass or the drums

[brownygurl13]

For me, i think the bass guitar

because i can't do everything at the same time like the my drummer bandmate

and i prefer bass guitar

[foolintherain100]

@Kanucks93 no instrument is easier to learn than any other. i play over 15 instruments, and they all are easy enough to learn the basics of, but get harder at different paces.

[philipkatsotas]

nice i wanna learn how to play bass

[ahazada]

i finding it really hard to learn slap pop, and index/middle, do you think a pick might be for me?

[imkenny1]

I'm just starting to play. That was good but how do I see or get more on line help?

[Wardimus83]

I Agree!

[mitsteig]
