Dunlop Gator Grip Blue - 1.14

When learning bass guitar, there are two key elements: rhythm and technique. And of course, those strings. Some purists will tell you that nothing beats fingerstyle playing, but since I can't physically inflict that much damage on them (and in memory of the great Lemmy), I strongly recommend that you avoid using your fingers and instead learn to play bass with a pick that can deliver maximum impact. You won't break the strings, but you'll achieve a sound that is truly extraordinary. A pick guarantees maximum power.
