Iron Maiden - Revelations (Bass Cover) Pick/Finger Comparison/ Read Description: FINGER

I tend not to get involved with the whole argument of finger vs picks. I think both are good and it just depends on what you want, imo there is hardly any difference in sound anyway thus I have posted this video twice. ON THIS VIDEO I am using my fingers, on the other video that I will link to this via a video response I will be playing this song with a pick for comparison. IMO there is hardly any difference in sound. I mean tbh I prefer using picks, thus I am predomintaly a pick bassist and rarely use my fingers. These videos are really to try and stop the arguments but deep down I know that it will probably only have the adverse effect. Anyway enjoy THE MUSIC fuck the details ultimately. OH AND...I worked this song out totally by ear so I'm not saying I play the song correctly 100% to the way Steve Harris does because I do not (and no I don't have tabs, I suggest google;).

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

[maidenslayer]

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

[SCOEN]

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!

[maidenslayer]

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

[geeksterz]

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

[Ihateyouall1243]

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.

@BassManiac666 thats because your retarded

[MrSFblack]

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

[MrRoostyr]

@BassManiac666 your intitled to your "wrong" opinion.

[MrSFblack]

@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.

[Jordo1900]

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!!!!!!!!

[FermerMetal]

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

[aleisaleis]

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

[mrgibsonbass]

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.
