Not me man. Bass strings are far too expensive to fuck up with metal picks. I sometimes dig that sound but not enough to use one of those. lol. I have in the past however.

I've been using that one you hooked me up with for BILF...I only use it with chill single note stuff though.
I'm heavy handed and will obliterate my strings if I use it how I normally would strum haha. Maybe I just need to have a lighter touch :idk:

I'm not a bass player, but I started out eating guitar strings w/ stainless steel picks, but after using them for a couple months something changed in my picking and I ended up not wearing them out much, if any, faster than an Ultrex pick.
