[font=trebuchet ms]Actually, I find that there are more subtle overtones available on bass than guitar when playing clean, which most bass lines are.

I still use a pick a lot, because it's more comfortably familiar, but I see the value in using fingers instead. The biggest advantage I see right now is the way that allows both hands to take care of the muting duties. And I find that muting is much more important on bass than on guitar. I play stuff that was Top-40 when I was young. You guys call it Classic Rock. I'm developing a greater appreciation for the genius of John Paul Jones every day! Jones and Bonham were the solid, consistent players in their band.[/font]
