Stranglers. Any of it, but especially the first 15 seconds of Hanging Around.

Lots of great examples here and some that venotbeen aware of so a good education, and of course terrific players. But it's the giveaway clickety click of the pick rather than just knowing they are pick users. Hence my Doors example at the start of the thread.

Oh and this one, I have the dots to this if anyone is interested
This is so very much a pick number I have real difficulty as a finger player doing it justice, as the track relies on the pick up and pick down motion attacking the next string above and below in the fraises.
Hats off to you pick guys.

I've always liked the sound of plectrum with a Bass, the work of Andy West, Booby Vega and Scott Thunes has been an influence on my own playing. I've never quite understood why when a plectrum is used on a bass it is nearly exclusively used to showcase the the 'Punky Growl' of an amp etc.. for example see the Mesa Boogie Prodigy demo videos. There's so much more that can be done.
