Did Hiro from Soundgarden and Truly use a pick or fingers

Sign in to disble this ad
I'm just curious because I really dig his bass sound and I can't tell if he used a pick or fingers. I've seen pictures where it seems likes hes holding a pick. I can't tell for sure. Does anybody know what he uses the majority of the time. Does anyone remember seeing them live or anything?

I'm stoked they got back together. I like Ben. He seems cool.

Nevermind then I saw a video of what looks like Hiro playing a pick. Actually I saw two. So I guess he does both.

Yes he used both, depending on the song, from the few videos I've managed to dig up of pre-Ben Soundgarden.

Hiro definitely had some chops, even if Soundgarden was still a diamond in the rough back in those days. Love his bass style.
