Do you use a pick when you play the bass? Or no?

Answer 1

no ..i don,t think so...but don,t take my word for it..i play accoustic

Answer 2

I don't play the bass. Next time ask this in the music section or something, cause I don't think a lot of people would play bass in P&S.

Answer 3

Danny Bonaduce strummed his bass on the old "Partridge Family" TV show. Ludicrous and hilarious.

Anyhow, since I presume you're talking about electric bass, you generally just pluck the strings.

Upright acoustic [double] bass is plucked and/or bowed.

Answer 4

Depends on the tone and style I am playing. Finger playing gives a rounder, softer sound whereas a pick gives you a more "plunky" sound with faster attack on each note.

And don't forget the funky slap-n-pop style.... no pick for that.

It's just a matter of choice and style of playing.

Have fun :)

Answer 5

You can, I think it's easier to use your fingers though.

And yeah, the guy above my answer really doesn't know the keyboard all that well seeming as though he used a comma instead of an apostrophe. Wow..... people these days.

Answer 6

I slap,use my fingers,and use a pick. It depends on the kind of music you are playing.

Answer 7

NO! enjoy the roll "thumb and finger" action, a tighter and faster action on the runs too. 2bz.

Answer 8

it depends on the song, sometimes i use a pick, sometimes i use my fingers

Answer 9

I prefer my fingers.

Answer 10

No, you pluck the strings.
