Playing bass with a pick can provide a sharper, more defined tone, and can be better suited for high-speed playing and loud mixes. However, using fingers can offer more dynamics, a warmer and fuller sound, and is better suited for slap-bass technique. It all depends on the player’s style, the music genre, and the specific sound wanted. There is no definitive answer to whether a pick is better than fingers for bass, as it is largely a matter of preference.
