Chiefy, the entire opening and closing bit with the drum track was pick. I also make sure to use a pick at some point in every vid, but I couldn't tell you exactly where. I know I used a pick in that one somewhere in the main demo part.
I literally have an old ashtray of about 200 picks sitting on top of a cabinet right next to me, so I just dive in at some point while I'm playing.

so hawt.
that OD sounds GOOD. chu like it?
I do indeed like it... more so the second and third time I plugged it in. Would be nice with a bit more tone shaping (ala 3 band EQ or similar) but it does kick ass in a band setting.

um. Jefe. i'm going to have my second Possessed back from Danno in a few weeks. want me to send you one of them to wobble around? i still need to send you a shirt.

I feel exactly the same way. I've been practicing playing with a pick cause it sounds especially great with dirty pedals.
I totally want dirty sloppy seconds on playing with a possessed

And I'm kinda the opposite. I really do suck playing with fingers only. I mean, I can do it, but it's bad. I do it for a few songs in our set just for tone purposes. But I basically need to fucking concentrate through the whole song to make sure I don't flub notes. And I can't slap at all. I understand that this "limits my versatility as a player", but since the pick sound is my favorite bass sound anyway, I just stick with it.
As for the chodes that diss bassists who use picks, I find that it's mostly an online thing. Whenever we gig with other bands, I never get the stinkeye from other bassists about it. Probably because they can sit there and watch me play, and see whether I suck or not. The idea that a pick is a crutch for sucky bassists really only comes up on forums and youtube comments.

that's funny, i always hear the weirdest shit from bassists with picks that we play with. it's USUALLY people that have just started playing or gigging. and i feel like a preemptive douche, 'cause after a set i'll say like,
"nice set homie!"
and get back something like, "oh. i can only play with a pick. i can't do all that tapping and weird shit you do."
"dawg. i SUCK. i barely know what i'm doing, it just looks wayyyy more impressive than it is. i can NOT use a pick at all. BOOM. YOU WIN."
and i KNOW they've had some bleeding sore of a douche-hole up in their face with that "HAH YOU'RE A FAILED GUITARIST YOU USE A PICK HURPRHAH FHRUFHHFHR DURPLAHAGGHIHSGSHH.".
bitches.
