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?

how long have you been playing?

playing the bass is a blast. it can be somewhat limiting in having to keep rhythm for the guitar, but very liberating in not having to stay within certain expectations or norms as the guitar is.

even with the guitar, i always had a hard time fingerpicking, i could never go as fast, as is with the bass
