Given the edges on these things I'm thinking that the strings will break much faster if you used these. Which would be pretty punk rock but isn't great during a show.
Yeah, picks are waaay cheaper than strings. And you can hot swap them in the middle of a show.
Also, punk bassists shouldn't pick. Unless you're Matt Freeman. Then you can do whatever the fuck you want.
Stop telling punk bassists what to do.
Kinda feels like a punk bassist being told not to use a pick makes them even more punk for doing so.
