| _____________________________________________ [Jan 21,2004 1:50am - brian from aganihm ""] picks are over rated for speed. i hate using them, even now with my hand and 2 fingers in a cast i refuse to use one. i'm way faster with my fingers anyways, can get to around 70notes in under 7 seconds (not random strings, nor just on one string) when im not in a cast. plus i can play chords using just my fingers. im a little bit slower now due to the cast, but that'll change. but i guess its up to how ever the bassist feels most comfortable. only downside bout using fingers to play bass..you have to warm them up prior. thats when a girlfriend comes in handy haha. |

| _________________________________ [Jan 21,2004 11:01pm - retzam ""] They smell kind of like something is burning |
| _______________________________________ [Jan 21,2004 11:02pm - the_reverend ""] nope, sorry, I lost. maybe you should stop cutting your nails with a blow torch. |

| ______________________________ [May 16,2005 8:48am - Mary ""] Nick from Kevorkian's Angels plays with fingers and a pick, and he'll out bass any of you! |
| ______________________________________ [May 16,2005 8:55am - th3rdknuckle ""] oh? LOL |
| _______________________________ [May 16,2005 9:03am - Boots ""] I agree with Mary. Nick destroys the bass. |
| ______________________________________ [May 16,2005 9:23am - the_reverend ""] and then he puts a dead rat on it |
| _______________________________________ [May 16,2005 9:30am - joe/notcommon ""] Nick can out play anyone, even with a deadrat or a urinal cake attached to his bass |
| __________________________________ [May 16,2005 2:55pm - Niccolai ""] Bassists with superiority issues when it comes to method of string attack are pussies. I hate when people have issues with string number as well, I play a five string and it doesn't make me better than any four string bass player off the bat. I play with my fingers and that doesn't automatically make me better than people who use picks. I use a three finger technique and theres a song we play that I can play fast enough, but not for three minutes straight without getting tired so if I'm playing live and I feel like using a pick half way through the song than fucking deal with it. I'd like to see a quote from Leo Fender stating the first mass produced electric bass he designed was intended only for fingerpicking players. To suggest that Basses were designed for fingers is just plain retardation. |

PS. Jaco is a pussy. Haha i disagree, Jaco is awesome, but thats not why im replying. Leo Fender INVENTED the electric bass so that ELECTIRC GUITARISTS could double on bass as well. The instrument of electric bass was designed with pick players in mind, NOT finger players. Finger playing (much warmer fatter rounder sound) became popular very quickly, but nevertheless the instrument was not (as some people have said) "designed to be played with fingers." I play with fingers, but just thought id make this known. Elitism sucks. |

I'll use my fingers until the day I stop playing, but I'll accept the possability that somewhere in the world, someone with a four string bass and pick might be better than me (no matter how unlikely).:shocker: |
