It sucks ass that Burton died.
The thing about metal... Is that there are so many great metal bassists, in other words not many, in metal bass more or less imitates the guitars, similar to the way it's done in most punk rock.
IMO players who use picks have a much duller tone, and it limits their abillities to progress on the instrument.... Of course there are exceptions, Justin Chancelor is pretty good for a pick user.
I got a bass on my b-day.... I have come to find that fingerpicking just has a much more natural feel to it... That's why most bassists prefer not to use picks, they just get in the way.
