Picking a bass = guitar player that decided to play bass because guitar players are a dime a dozen.


This is probably true. It was of me anyway.

I've always admired finger-pluckers during live performances. But for recording, using a pick generally always sounds better in the mix.

Bah. You can find plenty of guitars that have great action, a bajillion frets, and a similar level of comfort for playing that don't look like absolute shit. At least, imho. To each his/her own, lol.

What's up with the tendency of highly skilled guitarists gravitating towards disgustingly ugly guitars? You almost never see anybody with real chops playing on something good-looking like a Rickenbacker or something classy.

the reason is simple: you need the right tool for the job. A big bulky Rickenbaker is not as playable as all those sleek and highly functional guitars you call ugly. Playing the things she does on a guitar that's not suited for that is just not very pleasant.
