Re: '68 bass technique



Scott Schrade:  "OX usually plays the melodic lines with his fingers:
    doo-do-loo  doo-do-loo  doo-do-loo  doo-do-loo
And the rhythm parts, he'll play with a pick:
    chuck-a-chuck chuck chuck  cuck-a-chuck chuck chuck"

Scott,  Very nice text effect :-)  

The real question I had was how does he do both the 'doo' and 'chuck' at
the same time as on "Little Billy" Filmore '68?  If he is using pick AND
fingers how is he holding the pick?  All the photos I have seen of John
(and the real thing) I had the impression that he only has two hands and
ten fingers.

Do you hear the simultaneous doo-chuck?  Are my ears damaged?
