such a beautiful jazz bass, what a waste to have someone who doesn't know how to play it properly (pick).

Not the most enlightened statement of the day. That's like saying The Jam's Bruce Foxton, Bauhaus/Love&Rockets' David J, and MC5's Steve Moorhouse/Michael Davis and many others all couldn't properly play the bass because of their choice of using picks, when in reality they all ROCKED on bass with plectrums more often than not. Away with these absolutisms of "proper bass playing", it's just diversity in tone color.

Heck, I've played bass for 20 years and love thumping with both fingers and pick, depending on what the tunes demanded. VIVA TONAL DIVERSITY.

I've been playing the bass for 19 years, and I just can't play it with a pick. I've never gotten the hang of it, so I've always played with my fingers. Oddly, this has never been an issue when I play guitar.

I hate the tired old "bass players who use picks are lousy" cliche. Most people in the audience can't even tell the difference.

Well, look at your fingers! how the fuck could you use a pick at all?

plectrums?! I THOUGHT THEY WERE CALLED PICKINS!

Ah ug yer um....I guess that was the Armenian in me, as I used to play OUD years back before I had to sell it for teh monies. The PLECTRUM used is a funky flat quill of sorts.

We always call them plectrums over here. Well, picks is pretty dominant as well, but I use the two words almost 50:50. Or maybe 49:2:49 with "pleck" being the inbetweener.

Pick.

yeah, and really.

Elitism about people playing the bass with a pick is UNBELIEVABLY closed-minded. Some of my favourite bass sounds are hugely dependent on a pick being used.

And fucking LEMMY.
