Trujillo, Cliff, Frank Bello...

Although I play in a thrash metal band (with fingers), I don't know much about it and thrash bassists, but I'm sure these guys do it.

Well he doesn't play in a thrash band, but Alex Webster uses his fingers, Steve Harris does too, Steve DiGorgio from Death (I have a feeling i butchered his last name) used his fingers I think. They're out there, it's not that hard honestly you just need to spend some time with it.

I have a feeling that was a typo, an unfortunate one at that.

Tom Araya used to use his fingers, but he switched to a pick a while ago

Way to nit pick.. Even death metal has many of the same qualities that thrash does when it comes to bass playing techniques.

He asked speicifically for thrash metal bass players who plays with their fingers.

I personally dislike when I ask about something and then get answers that doesnt answer it. Like when I was looking for good folk music and specifically defined it as that I was not looking for neofolk or martial folk. What did I get? A huge list of neofolk bands. Gah....
