Which way to play? (bass, punk, rock, Paul McCartney, quote)

Dont use your thumb man. Ive been playing bass for like seven years, and currently teach bass lessons part time. All the best bass players Ive ever met (and Ive met alot of world class bass players) use their fingers. I would also condone using a pick occasionally, if your using an electric bass. The sound cuts through better and can be benificial as long as you arent trying to play really tricky riffs.
