Hi i havent been playing bass for very long, i play the bass with plectrums and nothing is gunna change that i just prefer it. I was just wondering whether i pic behind the pickups ( like closer to the bridge) or if it doesnt matter. i generally play metal music on the bass.

Just like when playing with your fingers, the sound will be different depending on where you pick, and the feel of the string will be different as well.

Was that the question?
