Here's one of mine. It's the screenshot from my laptop, running Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 with Sawfish window manager, xfce4-panel, and nautilus.

In my opinion, you should play with the pick if it feels right to you, and you also like the sound. But you should also play with your fingers, and practice playing with your fingers. It's good to get comfortable with all techniques. Some say that fingers sound better than pick, and some...

Whether you're learning bass or piano, or guitar, or any instrument, you'll still be learning music theory. So I suppose the piano lessons wouldn't be necessary, unless he wants to learn piano too.

Hello everyone. Here's a photograph of my favorite bass. This was my first bass. I got it cheap from ebay, as part of a package deal. It came with a bag, a small amp, a change of strings and a pick. Although I've mistreated it, it still works properly and doesn't look too bad... no big...
