I believe Monk was an early Precision bass player.
Correct me if I'm wrong, though.

I have an interview from the 1970s era Guitar Player where he is playing a block inlayed Jazz Bass with flats and vaseline on his hands to aid in gliding around. I guess I should have said late Monk Montgomery, he did play a Precision first.
I also have a 70s era Monk Montgomery electric bass method with a line drawing of Monk playing the same bass on the cover.
A couple of more:
Willie Weeks
Francisco Centeno

That's right. That may be the band Fender bass, Hamp owned one for the bassist to use. I'll try to find that Guitar Player article and post what Monk said. Several other players played the band Fender, so this may have been another player in '58. It does look like Monk, though.

The late Doug Rauch

John Paul Jones (again with pick and fingers)-you can find images of him playing both ways

[plangentmusic]

Um...all of them?

I think it'll be easier to choose pick players of note - and those who MUST use a pick. In other words, Mc Cartney played with a pick but it isn't a style that cannot be duplicated with fingers.

Chris Squire on the other hand...

[Dr. Cheese]

Mark Adams of Slave.

Can't believe I forgot Aston "Family Man" Barrett!
Also Lee Sklar on early James Taylor (Lee had a 65 with an interestingly carved body that he did himself).
More to come.....
