Me too, but some songs you need to dig in big time.

Doh! That big BASS wasn’t in the title to start with.

Anyway, I’m going to have a bass tomorrow. A nice blue one. Will probably use the same pick too.

Thats because I imagined everyone would see it was in the 'Bass Guitars' topic. :P Silly me.

I have 4 left but they literally keep slipping when I dig in. maybe I need to drill holes in them.

Index & middle fingers, kind of geeza style. Challenged for a lifetime to run that bass motor quarter beats smooth I am.

After completely poo-poo'ing this idea, I scraped the bottom of the pick barrel and found a nylon .88, have to say way better than the big stubbies :D I can't imagine it lasting longer than an hour or two but definitely like that feel. Got a 1.5mm tortex there that I'm trying with it :)
