    Any other bassists here? If so, how do you play fingersw or pick? I personally use both.

    Bass was my first instrument, that was until I discovered the sonic properties of the Synth.

    haha yes! Synth is my instrument of choice as well.

    I did play bass for a couple years, I fingered that bitch.

    Cool, not enough people play bass, I also play guitar and synthesizer but it's just cool to see people who play bass cause they're hard to meet

    I am a bass player too! Great choice of instrument :hello:
    I learned fingerstyle and it is still my preferred style of playing, although I have been developing my picking recently to the point where it's starting to sound kinda good. I think it was mainly listening to Phil Lesh and John Entwisle and well as the bassist from Lotus that inspired me to try my hand at picking.

    Hell yeah, I play bass. My bass is pretty shitty right now though. It wont work with my amp.

    I like playing with a pick but I fingerpick too. Gotta have that versatility.

    When I first learned this song I believe I was 15 years old. I felt such a sense of accomplishment lol. I have easily jammed along with this song 100s of times. It ceases to get old, and if I don't pick up my bass for a period of time, this will be the song I test myself with lol...as far as my groove.
