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;).

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.
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.
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.
