How do you usually play bass, with your fingers or a pick?

I myself prefer fingers because it builds finger strength (and calluses ) and it also sounds better to play with your fingers.

both

I use my fingers because pick noise gets irritating @ times. fingers are nature given so they win by default. :mrgreen:

good call

fingers of course, but i use a pick when playing certain songs that need that growl. But those are usually easier songs.

I usually play finger style, but I'll use a pick on songs that need that kind of attack you only get from a pick.

Sometimes, when a song requires both, I use banjo thumb picks and a bit of compression.
