Being able to accomodate even a request such as this, may come in handy someday.  |

I don't believe that bassists on talkbass are uniformly more dedicated than those who aren't, and I don't see how players who use picks are by and large less dedicated than those who do.
You basically said that bassists who used picks can be as good as those who don't, as long as they're on talkbass (not quite, but something pretty darn close as near as I could figure your statement). I reiterated that in different words and said I don't buy it.

I once had an audition where they said no pick players allowed. I told them off.
I think a good bass player should learn picks, fingers, slapping, and any other method to play the bass, and then use what is best for the song. |

Real bassists don't play flats. Only sharps.
And they don't play in Eb major. Ever. |

I've been posting all this time in a forum dedicated to the worst blasphemy of all devices every created? This is heresy! REAL bassists would never think to touch that insipid excuse for an instrument, or anything remotely close to it*. For that matter, playing anything written post 1800 should be punishable by death.
*Guitarron being the exception, of course.
