I get more invitations to jam bass than 6-string. There's just too many string-slingers around, but not so many bass players. I like it. I get to noodle around instead of grinding away at chords all the time.

I use a pick. I like the attack, and I'm not ready yet to experiment with slapping, or FX either, for that matter. I'm just having fun. That's the goal, innit?
