it took me a very long time to start using a pick with my bass. i always followed the misguided ideal that 'real' bass players only use their fingers. using a pick provides a distinct attack and an ability to play runs with a different kind of aggression than your fingertips.
it's not something i use a lot but i found i was also able to pull out way more harmonic sounds while using a pick as opposed to my fingers.
