A question for Steph Harris

[Metal up ur azz]

A question to a fellow bass player:

Which way of playing bass do you prefer,with fingers or with a pick?(I think a pick is favorable because playing sixteenth notes are hell with fingers :hotjump: )

I think a pick is favorable because playing sixteenth notes are hell with fingers :hotjump:

Pussy. I can do 32nd notes on my bass with 2 fingers using medium gauge roundwound bass strings and not break a sweat. For that technique, watch Cliff's solo on For Whom The Bell Tolls on the Cliff 'em All video.

A pick... I don't need no stinkin' pick! :Smug:

Actually, I'm still waiting to see Wanda play with a bow. When's the next show with the symphony, Wanda?

It depends on what is being played. I prefer the method that makes the music sound best. Ex: I would never play jazz or Iron Maiden songs with a pick...but I might use one for punk or speed metal.

Well,now that I got a better bass players opinion ( well,for now HA HA HA HA HA HA...no offence girl (I have more practice time then people have sleep time)) I know im goin the right way with the pick (only use it for real fast stuff)

It's not really important. Master both technique and choose wich works best for you

[Metal up ur azz]

While im at it,can I ask why are you the only maidens without a little picture under your name?????????????????????

 

[theVulture]

I can do 128th notes at 240 BPM on a bass using a synth and a computer HAHAHAHA!!

 

[smylex]

I can do 256th notes at 480 bpm using a Black & Decker power drill. What's your point?

 

[theVulture]

you can mimic bass tones with a power drill ?? forget my point!! how did you do that ?

 

[alanbirdsell]

I'm still waiting for Wanda to make her way back up here so I can see what a real bass player can do with my Beast. It's as big as she is, but so is her double bass I imagine.

 

[Doodoobubbachuck]

My my , Alan, that is BIG! Sinse when are you so modest about size?? Wanda could have her fingers all over that Beast! I'll just take your little doggie!

No.. with Bridgette (the dog in the picture) it's more like Bubba Up Chuck!

YES! I am a dog freak! So is Jojo! But no puppy stealing here. That's Alan's pooch who got out of the yard one day and in a bit of trouble. What a little cutie!!!! Maybe he needed to doo doo that day?
