Dutchman Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 What a relief!!! I guess the attack of a pick is offensive to some.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killerteddybear Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 I never learned how to use a pick well on bass, but guys like Graham Maby make me wish I had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G Man Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 The injustice of it all! Seriously though, I think Bobby Vega did that years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crunchee Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Sometimes I use a pick on my fretless bass, for a harder attack and to fake the sound of a fretted bass, when I don't want to change basses. I can always change back at the literal drop of a pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
specialk Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Doesn't it depend on the color of the pick? Jes' sayin'… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan of Brainfertilizer Fame Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Interestingly, I cannot sing while playing bass with fingers, but I can sing while playing a bass with a pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is exactly why I play bass with a pick! I spent so many years playing guitar with a pick and singing I can’t do both on a bass without one! If I’m not singing fingers work great... conditioning or something like that!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hardest bit for me is playing bass (in any manner) and singing high harmonies. Nothing but rote muscle memory will get it done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
