I am just learning to play bass guitar. Is it better to use a pick or not? Is it just a matter of personal preference? Does it affect the ability to play?

Thanks in advance!

Noo, pick is if you play it a lot... but just for practicing I do not suggest you to use it

Hi, New Bass Player!

A person who plays electric bass can use either the fingers or a pick. It depends on the tone quality that's desired. I much prefer to use my fingers because it's easier to be more accurate in plucking the strings that way. If a person's going to play with a pick, then they need to be practicing with a pick.

Thanks!

Pick! It sounds so much cleaner
