You CAN be a bassist and use a pick.   wow no you can play with a pick or your fingers it really doesn’t matter it’s all about what tone you want to get out of the instrument omg fucking twat whoever thinks that you’re not a real bassist if you use a pick I hate using my fingers as a matter of fact, I have tried it over and over and I play a lot better with a pick and it sounds a lot better so go fuck yourself hiya Lemmy, Duff McKagan, Chris Squire, Paul McCartney, John Entwistle etc If you say you’re not a real bassist if you use a pick, you’re not a real bassist. A good bassist adjusts their playing technique to the style they’re playing. They change it to create different timbres, to make playing a certain riff more fluid, or even just for personal preference. Would you say the same thing to a drummer who used paintbrushes instead of sticks? No. So shut up.
