  • Bass Players (Picks) :

    Mike Dirnt, Mark Hoppus, Jason Newsted, Nate Medel(Foo Fighters), Cliff Williams(ac/dc), Duff McKagan, Flea(Ocassionaly),

    Bass Players (Fingers) :

    Flea, Vic Wooten, Marcus Miller, Stanley Clarke, Steve Harris, Cliff Burton, Rob Trujillo, Jordo1900, & alot of bass players! Picks & Fingers are both ok for bass so like stop arguing over absoulutley NOTHING!!!!!!!!

  • @Jordo1900 dont forget lemmy (motorhead),ian hill(judas priest),roger waters(pink floyd),tom araya(slayer),david ellefson(megadeth),n occasionally geezer butler(black sabbath) are pick bassists.also fieldy(korn),frankie bello(anthrax),les claypool(primus),n geddy lee(rush) all use their fingers.but one thing they all have in common is they are all awesome.

  • a pick gives you more attack on the strings, where as fingers dont, to a degree

  • I believe pick gives you more of a treble sound and your fingers give you more of a bassy sound

    either or..its all good

  • still depends,you can;t call steve harris' sound bassy even though he uses fingers.Anyway both are great!I play with both finger and pick

  • I play with both but for my band I am predominately a finger bassist but there is nothing wrong with a pick it helps do some things you can't do with finger.

  • you are a simply a great bass player regardless you use your fingers or a pick

    UP THE IRONS \m/

  • Hey man, nice job there. well, i think you should try to use more fingering (without leaving the pick behind forever, of course). You have a good ability and a nice shaping on your left hand, plus a clear potential to improve your finger playing. Eventhough you like more playing with the pick, because of the more warm and middle-high tunes, amongst other things, maybe if you just practiced more pickless you'd learn more techniques and equalization tips to make your execution very clean, soft.

  • iron maiden is for fingering, hail harris

  • the fact that Steve rox with his fingers does not mean that u have to play Maiden songs with fingers. Why? Because Steve may be the great finger player, but nobody else will get the very same sound as him anyway, so pretty much what u said is bullshit.

  • hey man nice playing but i think it sounds better with a pick

  • Yep well the pick version is uploading so you can judge when it is up.

  • shit man ur fuckin awesome with ur finger

    i know u say that ur a pick player but shit man use ur fingers sumtimes too!

  • Well I hardly ever use my fingers tbh. I prefer the way the pick feels. But thanks very much!

  • @BassManiac666 your intitled to your "wrong" opinion.

  • @MrRoostyr opinions are niether right or wrong,thats why they're opinions numbnuts...

  • @BassManiac666 thats because your retarded
