Anybody here ever pick slide/string scrape?

[nick]

Hi

Was wondering if anybody ever does string scraping on their bass, that technique that all heavy metal guitarists seem to do all the time.
Do it myself occaisionally, partly to piss off any guitarists

Anybody have any interesting techniques?

Can't seem to do it, when I've got flats on though(?)

Cheers

No, I will persevere with my felt pick & flats - I must get that sound!

You could do it with your thumbnail if you want to play fingerstyle. Use your finger to guide the thumb.

One of those jellyfish picks might do a slide impression on flats.


Also, think punker stuff has the gratuitous pick slides:
