Really hard to find a video that showcases bass live that doesn't sound like it was recorded with a potato.

There are guys who use a pick, and there are guys who have a real voice with a pick. Bobby has an equally strong voice using a pick or fingers. A very musical player. imho |

The stuff that's hard with a pick are things that are more easily done with fingerstyle, such as:
Staccato single string rides (play all downstrokes and mute each note with left ring finger)
Rebel Yell - Billy Idol
String jumps:
Good Times Bad Times - Led Zeppelin
Any disco song with octave basslines
Two Tickets to Paradise - Eddie Money
All Right Now - Free
Immigrant Song - Led Zeppelin
Gallops: (bump badadump badadump badadump)
Diamonds and Rust - Judas Priest
Rolls:
Alternate up and down strokes with the very tip of the pick really fast, barely touching the string so it sounds like a smooth extended sustained note. The fresher the pick the smoother it will be.
Sorry the songs are all oldies, but you know old man gonna give old man answer. | Gallops like 'Planet Earth' from Duran Duran are an exercise in consistency. I have a big appreciation for this line that's almost like a sequencer. This is one of the few songs JT plays with a pick, but to me it's impressive.

|  | Registered User | | | | | A lot of great pick players have been mentioned, however I am surprised Mike Dirnt from Green Day has not been mentioned yet (or perhaps I missed it). Awesome player with a pick and I love his tone. |

I guarantee that you will be a better pick-wielding bass player after that.
