Great bass players that use picks.

[Richard Sabines]

I was wondering if you admire bassists who use constantly pick, and are great bassists. I can think right now of Billy Gould, from Faith No More, one of my favs bassists.

Carlos D from Interpol, and Chrissie Hynde (sp?) of Talking Heads.

Chrissie is from the Pretenders, plays guitar. You're thinking of Tina Weymouth.
