[rtsoccerplayer]

i'd like to see you put together songs with drums and guitar as well, but instead of the guitar being the dominant instrument, the bass is dominant.

Using a pick or your fingers, doesn't matter. Use both, depending on the particular sound you need, or fits. To limit yourself to either, you only tell the world you are not as good as you could be I use what ever feels/sounds right. I use my fingers most of the time, and can actually play faster using the fingering techniques, however, I will use a pick. Two different sounds...expand your playing, experiment using both..I can actually play with a pick and my fingers simultaneously.

I play with both fingers and pick, but I prefer fingers as im more skilled with that xd

It doesn't really matter anyway, I use pick for a different tone, its personal preference actually.

[MrSkikoe]

I only use my fingers for girls

By the way, this guy just rocks!

[MarCarnage25]

Man, stop this shit! If you want play with Pick, that's OK, it's YOUR choice, if your want to play with your fucking fingers, that's OK too! Goddamn! It's just a matter of choice. I play with both, but I really prefer Pick, I was born playin' bass with pick... Look at all those 80's bass players, most of then used a pick! For God's sake! It's not a fucking rule play with the fingers!!

Ellefson, Lemmy and Phil are guitar players in a bass player's body. Flea, Claypool, Gibbs, Wooten, Trujillo, Arvizu; all these bassist primarily used their fingers and the list will go on and on and on. It would take about 20 comment boxes to list HALF of the great bass players that used fingers. The ones that used picks couldn't come even close to an eighth of that number. If that doesn't tell you something then good luck believing the bullshit you do, fuckface.

@utahpierce AND a little sidenote, i actually play mostely with my fingers, the only songs i play with a pick are the ones where i need that crunchy, rough tone.

[bonzzo15]

@bonzzo15 Ellefson, Lemmy and Phil ALWAYS used a pick, the only one of those i just wrote who didnt was Entwistle.. I give up this, have fun in your 12 year old little world of immature ideas.

"used a pick from time to time"

And there you go. All the aforementioned bass players used their fingers most of the time. So if using a pick IS the way to go, how come it's not their main method of playing? Hmm? Entwistle, Ellefson, Lynott, and Lemmy will tell you EVERY TIME that if your main technique is strumming up and using a pick, you're doing something wrong.
