OOOOHHHH yes

You trying to say something?

hahaha. ok

Hahahahaha my god. ok, i said HIM not his bass playing, is humble, he seems a very humble man. Sweeps and ten string basses are gay? Who is the snob? the one who is open is new ways to play bass and experementing or the one who sticks to just playing finger style and pick? Different tools..... so slapping, tapping, sweeps, finger style, double thumb, double/tripple/qaudruple stops are just one tool? Try opening your mind to more than just finger style and picks.

I wouldnt say using a pick makes you a lesser bassist, just does nothing for me and stops you from being able to use tapping/slapping/double thumb etc withought throwing the pick on the ground or something. I agree with Knock on wood isnt that listenable but then again that is your opinion. Slapping/tapping isnt showing off, its a way to make sounds and do things that can improve a song greatly, it can be used to show off but can make a piece 100% better. G... fair enough point and i agree a pick is a perfectly viable way to play but doesnt do it for me.

I never said they did, did i? Slappy-tappy pish? what is that? Evolving the playing of a bass beyond the basics and using and pushing your imagination and musical ability? So because someone isnt just sticking to basic finger style they are show-off assholes? I would say Victor Wooten and Michael manring are extremely humble and i dont think you could argue with that. Can i ask what you think of Justin King and John Butler?

What i believe i hear? I dont like picks, end off. the sound they produce (im my opinion) isnt good. I reckon every bass part played with a pick would sound better if played with the fingers but like i said that is my opinion, wether you think it is shite or not is up to you. Surley a higher lever of attack could be achived by playing harder with you fingers. Also The bassist who i listen to most, inspire me most and in my opinion have had a big impact on bass are Michael Manring Chuck Bianchi Victor Wooten Jaco Stanley Clark Marcuss Miller James Jamerson Larry Graham Jean Baudin Steve Baily Steve DiGi les Claypool and i have prop missed a few All only play with fingers 99% of the time. Show me a bassist who plays with a pick who can do what Manring does or Bianchi does. Counter point tapping with a pick? I would love to see that.

Fair comment, mabye it is my bass player sobbery but something about playing with a pick that just kills it for me. i can help but feel like the stuff i see played with a pick would be better if playd with fingers. I dunno why but the sound of a pick just sounds bad to me, the clicky sound you get. just not for me. each to there own

Sorry... in my opinion.

Aye get better faster.

No but im 90% sure i could if need be. Cryptopsy - thats some hard bass lines. Victor Wooten - Show of hands, Insanely hard to play. Jean Beudan(sp?) - Some hard stuff. p.s Any bass player who plays with a pick relegates themselfs from 'top 3 bass players'

1. Chuck Bianchi 2. Victor wooten 3. Stanley Clark 4. Marcuss Miller 5. Steve DiGiorjoritorieoeorjtriwoweirwo (death, sadus) Bunch of others but there mine.

Done it for my college recital last year, had the percussion and everything. Not really that hard to play, its understanding whats going on thats the hard part.
