Bass play - a pick or no pick?

[danhkr]

Use both fingers and pick equally and love the styles and tones connected with both equally as well. Yes, I'm in a very happy place when it comes to this debate

Bobby Vega used a pick when he played in Tower Of Power and Sly And The Family Stone. BV said that in TOP he had to use the pick because he couldn't play finger style fast enough to keep up with the bass parts.

So the pick was not an issue to those bands. The only issue was how well Bobby played.

Lessons are way more important than gear.

Sorry to bring back an unpopular possibly even a tad controversial thread but I thought the pick brigade might like this.....

Ah, but will a debit card sound better or worse than a credit card. And what about all those store cards?
