Where’s Day Tripper?

I’ll tell you this much… I can play a lot of stuff with a pick that most bass players can’t do using their fingers. You have to find a REALLY skilled finger-stylist that can match what a pick can do… THEN the guy using a pick can’t do it. LOL

It depends on the song, the sound you’re going for, and your personal preferences.

Sometimes playing with a pick is the best way to go… good luck playing “My Hero” by the Foo Fighters with your fingers for the whole tune, you might need to take a break after that.

As “hazebladevids” stated, it’s up to the player’s preference. The only thing that matters is it sounds great!

well to answer your question most bass players that I talk to feel that if someone uses a pick, they could just be a guitar player playing a bass. It makes a bass feel less special when played with a pick. But that is just what I hear. I personally think that some tones must be played with a pick

what does the letters mean in the rifts

dude i dont care what anyone says. i learned a lot and appreciate your time!

i have the same bass as you dude

ROCKET QUEEN best song ever gotta love Duff

fuck… I was hoping you were going to say… teaching bass, playing at night.

If you’re going to play with a pick, learn to mute your strings and roll some treble off the EQ. Sloppy technique is why a lot of people dislike of pick players. It’s not the pick itself, it’s that most pick players just don’t play well.

Hehe your comment reminds me of a picture of Cliff Burton using a beer bottle as a slide. Don’t mind my random reply to your comment.

Mistakenly i hit the like lol

I work for a utility company.

what’s your day job?

Some of your tabs are missleading and your doing more then what they read…. misleading jerk!

No Nice ´n´ Sleazy? Well ok, guess that´s not very easy, but still…

THE JAM – ETON RIFLES!

and it’s the sound that matters – how you get it, with or without a pick, isn’t the point. play with a beer bottle if that’s what the song calls for.

money , pink floyd ..

I normally play with a pick when I’m playing punk stuff, or some heavier rock

Appreciate you taking the time!

dumb song choices. Shite bass sound. Too trebly and I hate roundwound strings. Get some fookin flat wounds ya daft git

Read the notes below the vid. You need to transpose the key.
