i preffer fingers, i cant get the speed with a pick. Any way you can do any thing with you fingers, i mean ANY thing.
Which style do you use and why?
I use finger style, i absolutely cannot get used to playing with a pick.

I can't cast a vote here. Because when I play guitar sometimes I finger pick, and sometimes I use a pick. Wether its on my strat or my PR5-E, I use both. I'd recommend adding an neither and both vote.

Borrow money from pessimists, they don't expect it back.
as mainly a guitar player, i find getting any speed with fingers exceedingly difficult...
I use both.
Both -- and thumb, too

Both. But I dont really count as a guitar player.
I do occasionally bring out the old bass. As I am about to do now.

I think, it depends on what music are you playing. I prefer to play with my fingers, cause I can feel the strings better and it takes not a lot of time to change the style and the position I'm playing (I mean tapin'-slap/pop-neck or bridge playing...). However if my fingers are positioned near to the bridge, it sounds like was played with a pick. And what about the speed... If you'll seek for more speed, you'll get it. And if it's not enought, what you can do with yuor two fingers - then gear your third finger up!!!
Both - but prefer and am better with a pick.
it depends on what you're playing
Slap & tap it!
100%
yeh well, I prefer the sound of finger pickin and the skill, but my bands music is too fast, and the strings are too floppy as they're in drop B most times so pick is the only effective way to go there
Back in the day, I used a pick for the real simple lines (I mean, we're talking about Sex Pistols here). Most of the time I use my fingers.

fingerpicking is mostly in classical guitar.in bass guitar too.depends upon the type you play.Its best to be proficient one by one.Don't mix em together
