it all depends on the sound you want. i play so much variety that it really only kills the field i have to play in by limiting myself to one specific way of playing. i think that sounds ok.
in other words, i have lots of options of how i want each song to sound by being able to play with a pick with fingers, or with slap. by disallowing myself one or two of those forms, then i'm left with fewer ways to express myself through bass.
something like that. |

It hurts alot though. |

Its funny how the people with the least amount of skill are usually the first to have a stupid comment - quickly revealing what they are made of.

Talkbass is not a democracy, it's owned by an individual, and the constitution of the United States does not apply to it.
The only reason I'm letting your post stand is to give an example of what will be deleted in the future.
Fair warning.

PS - a "peom" ?!!! And is the "whip of talent" a mystical artifact used in a role playing game?

Speaking of no life, how hard up for conversation to you have to be to come into a thread and just bash on people since you obbiously have absolutly no interest in the topic at all. Go back to Off Topic and cry about it for a while until you're a big boy and are ready to come back and play.
Edit: Oh sorry if this needs to be deleted, I think I almost sunk to his level but It needed to be said. When do Mod's get corperal punishment rights?

Anyway, the reason that I actually went to respond was to say that Chris Squire is a great example of some interesting picking techniques on a Ric, but I played a Mapleglo one in a music store with my fingers and started playing "The Fish" (the correct spelling of the real name of the song truely escapes me, but atleast its not the word poem..) with my fingers.. strangly.. the guy recognized the song but said it sounded crappy.. Now if you'll excuse my own self building super ego, that was one of the first songs I learned how to play. I've had it nailed down since I was playing a Squier Affinity P-Bass and IMNeverHO I'm pretty damn good at it. Bah! Play the rick with the pick or with your .....* it still sounds GREAT!
* = Sorry, Dr. Suess got into my brain there
