Punk Bassists Club

[DoomandHeavy]

I'm in a band called Witch Doctor. We sound like a mix of Black Flag, Man is the Bastard, and G.I.S.M.

My favorite bands are: Black Flag, Broken Bones, Discharge, D.R.I., Rorschach, The Fartz, Suicidal Tendencies, Kaaos, G.I.S.M., and way too many more! Haha!

I use a pick for straight up hardcore style riffs, and I use finger style for Crossover style songs. I sometimes try to throw the thumb in there, I'm not too good at that though! Haha!

3. I play better with my fingers, but I'm slowly learning to play pick-style because I like the sound better.

 

[bigboote]

My bass has 47 layers of stickers on it and I always play with a shard from a freshly broken beer bottle.
Punk.

 

[lankycharlie]

awesome! this is the pace for me..

love RANCID, the clash, ramones, left alone, lars and the bstards, time again, anti flag, less than jake, bad religion, AFI... just for starters... oh, and my band DERIDER, we may not have a huge punk sound, but are all influenced by punk, and the more we right, the more the punk influences come through..

i play with a pick all my band, but as i am studying bass at Brighton institute of modern music (BIMM) i play with pick, fingers, slap, and in a wide range of styles.. =)
