like that song you're writing zero, sounds moody. I play bass like I play guitar, which means I pick the hell out of it. I'm not that good, but it's a lot of fun, and I SUCK hardcore at fingerpickin.
I don't know how to play with my fingers really. Pick or go home imo.

What about slap bass?Originally Posted by Josh
There's no right or wrong method, really; different musical contexts call for different types of tone, and the best thing you can do as a bassist is being ready to fulfill whatever role is necessary, whether that calls for using a pick or using your fingers.

Usually uncalled for and wanky imo.

Unless you play for Morris Day slap is unnecessary.
Boo, Hiss.
everyone I know that does slap, makes fun of metal soloing.
we live in a funny ironic world

Catfish, I've tried using a pick many times, and while I guess it's 'easier' to play things, especially faster chugging lines, it just doesn't feel right to me. Moreover, for some reason a pick sounds thinner and less powerful to me. Why, I dunno, but different strokes, I guess.

hmm. well, you definately need a pretty heavy pick, thats for sure. it really just depends on what comes naturally i guess. hey, im gonna try to put up an mp3 of a song i made a cover of a while ago, but i dont know if it will work, cause im a noob.
