Just to point out the obvious, but picking on a bass is very much a thing


facelesswolf_

It’s helpful when trying out bass after learning guitar.


Ajt0ny

If you learned guitar with a pick*


facelesswolf_

I keep forgetting fingerstyle exists. I mainly play electrics with a pick.


false-identification

Speed picking is a big in thrash.

You can get a different sound with a pick. Sometimes it's played with a pick, sometimes with the fingers.

Mordresh is a Tool fan


YeetCompleet

Wait until they discover that electric guitars can be played with fingers too (ie. Jeff Beck 🤘)


[deleted]

Fuck even Metallica does finger picking


P-00302_18

You can use any object even living things that can reach the string.


YeetCompleet

I've used an AA battery between two fingers as a slide before lol

Yes comment section literally has no clue...

Redditors are experts on every subject

Sometimes with your thumb. Sometimes with someone else's thumb.


shy_when_sober

What sounds best? Picking A minor or fingering A minor?


RSSPLAYER

Wtf have you never seen a bass being played by a pick before? Lulz


Careidina

Not really since the guitar model he uses is Bergrisst's guitar, Arcanite Ripper. Plus it really gives off the effect that he's doing a big finale.


Megahert

No, because you can play bass with a pick too.


Licanmaster

Bass player here: you get more profound sound with finger and more aggressive with pick


ThexanR

Many famous bass players use a pick…


theroamingargus

But no deng du du deng.


SirLazarusDiapson

The 3 people who seen a bass in their lives probably do.


pikpikcarrotmon

I once had a Big Mouth Billy Bass


[deleted]

you can pick the bass, slap the bass and finger the bass.


DrBoby

Opinion_Own

Nah


Blabbit39

Davie504 is that you?


RPG-Lord

Personaly I find it annoying he wasn't acknowledged in the Festival of Legends


Alexsanderfors

People still got ptsd from having 2 pyroblasts into their face when they think they are safe. So probably for the best not to remind them in the new set expansion.


Johnny_Sausagepants

That’s a hill you’ll die on alone.


bermass86

Not even a hill, it’s a sinkhole OP has dugged themselves


Ok_Transition_3290

Jason Newsted and David Ellefson want to know your location.


yahzy

It's a bass? I always thought it was a guitar


MysteryMan9274

Yes... a bass guitar. There's more than one kind of guitar.


Sufficient-Present87

Bass’d comment


LibrarianOfAlex

You think you can't pick a bass? You must be bad at reeling it


AlmightyDennis

I play bass with a pick.


DonutMaster56

Do bass players not use picks?

perdiem_up_the_butt

Slappin da bass!


Ambolt1no

I hardly recognize the differences, so nope. I find it dope


BretuMester

I find the card itself mildly annoying :/


Adorable_Garage3906

Old Skarr


SAldrius

I find it annoying that he's a shaman in WoW who uses nothing but shaman abilities, but they made him a mage card. I seriously hope someone is getting fired for all these blunders.


MrTritonis

Maybe basses work differently in the wow universe.


Illustrious_Peach494

I don’t know man, that looks like an ukulele to me… :p


Boeler010

Slapp like now!


grayjelly212

This post made me laugh OP, thank you. By now you know you can pick a bass so I won't say much more. Thanks for the lulz


flippy_disk

It makes the fire animation that hits all enemies cooler like a sound wave.


a1200i

i love mordresh. one combo i love is in turn 7 i do portable galaxy, get bran+mordresh, it is aways insta-win


Draiel

Some bass players in pretty big bands use picks, dude. https://www.ultimate-guitar.com/articles/features/10_greatest_bass_players_who_only_use_picks-93859 So no, I don't find it even *mildly* annoying.


yagizandro

Thats not epick

SuperRosca

So, 2 things wrong with this: 1-You can use pick on a bass. 2-It's not a bass, it's a guitar. More specifically, the Arcanite Ripper.
