What does pizzicato means in electric bass playing?

[Langueta]

How can I do it it seems like the muted notes technique of jaco, or it is different??
How can I do it??

There no threads about this technique

Pizzicato = playing with your fingers.
On double bass, when a passage of a song calls for pizz, it means that the musician switches from playing arco (with a bow), to playing with his/her fingers.

When playing a bass guitar you're either playing with a pic or you're playing pizz I guess. (finger style).

Someone else may be able to give a better description, but this is just what came to mind.

That should be it.

On a fretted instrument, I would usually treat pizzicato as quickly-muted notes. On guitar, I think it would become palm-muting to get the same effect.

quickly muted notes would be noted as staccato.. short and disconnected.

pizz just means to play with your fingers. if its noted in your music, your either reading a double bass part, or they want you to not use a pick if you were already. but even that is kind of strange, ive never seen pizz marked on an electric bass part..

Pizz in classical guitar playing is palm muting, I believe it's the same thing for the electric bass....

Above post is the correct answer.
It means a different thing in orchestral music.
