Teaching myself bass guitar...
Thrillho:
I have to agree with that. Just saying 'don't play with a pick' is far too sweeping. The pick isn't just about being able to play faster or whatever, it also has a different sound which may or may not be more suitable for what you're playing, just like when playing guitar - sometimes you play with fingers, sometimes with a pick, depends what's needed. That's what I do, anyway. This is especially applicable doing covers, because if you're trying to recreate the sound of the original you might want to imitate their style.

It might be more beneficial to play with a pick if you're more interested in fast metal or thrash. Flea played with a pick on recent chilis albums. Rob Wright from nomeansno plays with a pick and he's AMAZING. I play fingers myself and have found in years gone by that I'm useless with a pick now.

Kim Gordon blames her arthritis on using a pick!

That was the one part of my advice that wasn't meant to be taken seriously.
Although it is a true story. My step brother did actually give me that advice. And no other.
sean:
Guys I used a pick while playing with a friend two days ago. And it sounded awesome.
Sooooo, use a pick if you want. Helps with the heavier stuff.
Thrillho:
I took it seriously because I've heard people seriously give dumber advice. And also then contradict themselves within a week.
