[QUOTE="DeOdiumMortis:46723"]A lot of bass players out there started out as guitar players so they were already used to playing with a pick, carrying that over to bass was the easiest transition to make. Some other bass players were initially shown the basics by a friend who was a guitar player: "here's a bass, here's a pick, now to this like I do." Some converted to fingers over time. Others started with fingers from the start. [B]The point: who fucking cares?![/B] The variety is what makes everything so much fun. If everyone sounded the same, 99% of us wouldn't be doing what we're doing. When I pick up a bass, I have to use a pick for almost everything I do on it, I have mediocre slapping technique and fair finger speed, but I can pick faster than probably anyone can finger. Advatage for me: pick. That doesn't mean everyone works that way, obviously they don't, so quit arguing about it! And kids don't use picks because nu-metal bands do, they use picks because #1 a pick has become synonymous with playing a guitar or bass, you can't hold up your fingers and say "I play bass" and have anyone know what you mean. #2 when you buy a damn bass they almost always throw in a handful of picks for free! You get used to picks = you buy more picks = more business for them. #3 they see just about everyone using picks, from people on TV to magazines to their friends. Shit happens. Christ.[/QUOTE]
