Do you play with pick or with your fingers? I've played guitar for quite sometime, so when starting on bass, I found it much more comfortable to play with pick. It's almost like I can work my way around the strings faster (I play 5 string) and it feels more natural to me. However I am trying to get into the habit of picking with my fingers. Any tips for finger picking/slapping?
I can use both when play old school R&B I use my fingers, when playing Rock I use a pick and my fingers. theirs a tune by the Average White Band called (School Boy Crush)it sounds better with a pick.

The lighter you hit the strings with your fingers, the faster you'll be able to play using them.
Different bass players use both for some songs others are exclusive to one or the other. Paul McCartney uses a pic very often as does JJ Burnell. Im trying to figure out if all of Social D is played with a pick, sounds like it to me
Slap is extremely simple. From your thumbnail, use you FIRST knuckle closet to the nail and flick the wrist on the string. And pop is simple also. Simply just pluck the string with your finger from below. Besides that I play with picks. It's easier to move around and I just like the sound better
