Why do some bass players play with a pick?

  • To me it just seems so wrong, i never seen no-jazz dude play his upright with a pick or his/her 4,5,6 string bass with a pick, its not natural, but if you play anyway good for you, keep it up, just try and put the pick down, dont get me wrong there are many,many bands i like whos bass players pick on bass, but i just dont have the same respect for them as someone who doesn't use it. TALKING BOUT BASS.


  • Listen to Phil Lesh (Grateful Dead) and Mike Gordon (Phish). Both of them have very unique bass playing styles, and they both primarily use a pick. I guess it depends on personal preference. Personally, I think a bass should be played with fingers, but here are two examples of some great bassists who use picks.


  • for most bassists' they just get courious and wanna play with one and start 2 like it
