AFAIK, that's a guitar technique (and you want fingernails for those, which I'm grooming and it's really annoying); bass you do by sitting the thumb over a pickup and plucking the same string over and over with index and middle finger, "fingerwalking" style (not to be confused with walking bass). Hope the bounce on the bar is low enough to actually make this technique viable, otherwise it'll be extra strum city. >What?s the #1 complaint about Rock Band drums? They?re big, bulky, and hard to store/move. Erm... the noise? The pedal which breaks in three seconds and has a far too hard spring compared to a real one? The serious sensitivity issues all kits have had? C'mon now. It's all but impossible to reach expert without modding the thing. >those bass pluckers out there that like to pluck strings with both your thumb and index/middle fingers just like ?real musicians? do.

Erm… the noise? The pedal which breaks in three seconds and has a far too hard spring compared to a real one? The serious sensitivity issues all kits have had? C’mon now. It’s all but impossible to reach expert without modding the thing.
