here... another bass player... me. :D
i'm not so bad on bass (i think xd), i had to learn everything alone, my parents are musicians but they play another kind of music,so my father told me a couple basic things and I started at 2007,playing some easy things like cramberries,green day,etc.
and there's a metal teacher who is director of the school band so i learned a few more from him (:

and about playing with pick or fingers... omm i basically play with pick and fingers(which is not easy) but when i'm playing live i prefer to play with pick because it gives me more freedom to move around the stage and stuff,i love rocking out so... i receive several criticizes about this, but i don't really care.i know i can play bass however i want and there's no laws about "To play bass with pick IS NOT ALLOWED" xd :lol:

And here's another Bass player to add to the collection *laughs*

I've been playing since I was 15, the first song I learned was 'Smells Like Teen Spirit',
I also played alot of easy songs from Green Day, Foo Fighters and some Nirvana.
my besties dad taught me, he showed me the basics of playing a bass (ie how to hold it and were to put your fingers, how to read a bass tab.. etc etc),
Everything else I learned myself *grins*

I now play ALOT of Foo Fighter songs, some Tenacious D and I'm adding Metallica songs onto the list (even if it does take me a week to learn just one song *giggles*) Plus many other random song that I like

Oh and I use a pick!!
I do use my fingers sometimes.. like if I feel I can finger it fast enough for the song or if I can't be bothered to find a pick *laughs*
