so after having seen some fast bands and whatnot... i noticed that every bass player what went fast used a pick. and then i noticed that a ton of bands that are fast have bassists that use a pick. whatever happened to fast fingerstyle bassing? i mean... yeah... people have the freedom to play it how they want but its a fuggin bass for christ sakes. we need more people that use their right hand with out a pick (or left if they are a lefty). so yeah... does anyone else agree with me here? or does everyone not give a rat's ass, hahaha

are basses those funny guitars they usually give to the girl in the band if she can't play keyboards?

:(

our bass player uses his fingers. he also uses a pick depending on the song.

we have some songs to download on the site. Castration of Christ is one i know he used his fingers for

we have a show thursday the 26th in Pawtucket RI BTW

it is quite rare now i must agree. theres only a few that stand out for me. dimmu, cryptopsy and corpse all have great fingerstyle bassits though.

never forget CANDIRIA..

right spaldino?

oh yes, candiria. one of the best death metal bands of our time.

When I saw the bassist of Behemoth play, it was fucked. It wasn't regular finger picking at all. More like using all of his fingers as picks really really fast. His hand was literally a blur.

behemoth is amazing.
ben from soilent green/goatwhore uses his fingers. so does this guy:

well... Candiria has a funk/jazz bassist. its just a given that he uses his fingers. and yes... its a fact: Alex Webster (Cannibal Corpse) owns you all

Behemoth's bassist played all slap with finger-picking, best bassist I've ever seen live, I could hear almost every note too. Insanity + clarity =

i'm not good enough to use only my fingers, but honestly, i plan on working at it.
hopefully for june29th i'll be pickless just for you rev

pick-less, but for gods sake, not top less.

*puts shirt back on* awww man =(

I play bass ina death metal band and I triple pick with my fingers. I like the sound I get from using my fingers more than a pick. It just sounds cooler.
