Technique aside, I used to think playing with fingers looks cooler before I play bass, now after ive picked it up I think that pick just looks cooler. You know like those punkers they just play downstrokes very fast, looks pretty cool |

I first learned with a pick. Didn't like it at all. I still pull one out once in a while, blow the dust off it, and give it a go. It's a unique tone. Still prefer fingers though. |

| | | | Heh, tone and technique doesnt not included! I play with fingers too, cause I like to slap and tap. But I think playing with a pick is cooler visually |

so...its alrite to rant about how cool a bass looks and its a sin to talk about playin wif style? this is wrong >  |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: north of chicago | | | I believe your sin is in 2 places:
1.) cooler, try saying "looks beter" cooler just has a connotation that you don't want here
2.) the look of a bass dosn't affect it's sound, talking about which basses look cool is completely different than talking about which way to play them looks coolest
