Sign in to disble this ad
Anyone know of any skilled Solo or Metal Bassists that uses a pick and are actually skilled (not pounding the E string with 16th notes constantly) Are there any? Imean nothing wrong with picking fast but, most ive seen dont change notes at all almost. Or are all pick players crap? So are there any metal bassists that play with a pick, fast, change notes and actually can be heard?

Clayton Ingerson plays 6-string bass with a pick and his lines are supportive, creative, and really cool. He's not with the band any more. For their current album Barriers and Passages, they have Colin Marston on bass and he's a finger player.
Even if you can't hear the whole album, the song "Bastard" should be available for download on their site http://www.dysrhythmiaband.com and the bassline in that song is killer.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Aug 2005 Location: Fern Park, Florida | | | Billy Gould ....he used a pick on many FNM songs - definately not a one-note chugger, he always made his basslines sound interesting...and he had the "Tool" tone on their early recordings - before Tool was even around.....1985
Paul D'Amour - brought you the unforgettable basslines from early Tool...
..it all came from the grind of Chris Squire - Geddy Lee was heavily influenced by him, except he never got the hang of using a pick - his words, not mine....
...and back to metal players...Dave Ellefson from Megadeth - awesome picker..

Blacky from Voivod! When they started doing stuff like "Nothingface" he busted out some countermelodic stuff.
And regardless of the stage of the band's progression, he still always had awwwwesome fuzztone! Marshall guitar heads into Peavey cabs.
Steve Digiorgio has been playing with a pick a bit here and there... |

Other than that I think it would be better if he actually played with a pick.
Justin chancellor is great. Jason Newsted is decent too. Too bad you can't hear him much. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
