   I refused to ever play bass with a pick, so I didn't have to 'unlearn'   
   anything. :-)    
      
   I play bass like I play 'rythem guitar' - that is, with runs and such   
   (big bluegrass background). I CAN keep a straight beat, and if the song   
   calls for it, sure, but I like to 'walk' a two step or western swing.   
   :-)   Fun stuff!   
      
      
      
   ... I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure...
