So I was watching the Late Show the other night and Fall Out Boy was performing. And even though they suck, he was playing his bass kind of strangely. I dont play bass so I dont know, but he was strumming it like a normal 6 string guitar. I usually thought bass players, like, plucked the strings with their fingers? I suppose this is a stupid question. hahaha.

I'm thinking that he was playing with a pick. Usually when I'm pulling bass duty, I do similar stuff with my picking hand. You can do it faster if you just use your fingers to hit the strings, but some players like picks.

I play with a pick but i'm starting to use my fingers more because playing the upright has gotten me used to it.

Yeah I just figured since the strings are a lot thicker that it would be more difficult maybe? I dont know heh.

Check out me, and I can't even play the bass. Point is, almost anyone is better than Pete Wentz.
