picking hand tecnique,, need help steve

[tooinsaneformyowngood]

ive been playing the bass for 4 yrs now.
when i began playing, i was too impatient to learn cliff burton's and Steve Digorgio's lines starting at a slow pace... once i could get the freeting, bam, bump it up to 220bpm.
BUT, now i realize that instead of playing 1-2-1-2.etc,
i play 2-1-2-1
in your opinion is this a problem that is worth a good 3 months to forget and remaster 1-2-1-2, or should i stick with what i got?

I think he does whatever he feels like doing when he plays... just the various use of two and three finger, as well as the other stuff he does... incredible.

what is the difference between 1-2 method and 2-1 method in terms of sound?
