why do they look like eggplants?

I'm sorry I'm not in the artist's mind. I can only guess that's his style.

Pov bass player

Would you care to give your Pov?

Sure I play bass and use finger style

That's cool. Why do you prefer finger style? Does it give you a different sound? Also isn't there a slap style?

Fingerstyle is more vibrant while pick gives it a more buzz kind of style and I'm not good at slap

That's ok, thank you for giving your Pov. Do you play with anyone?

Not currently but I'm looking

Let me know if you find something, and I'll check it out.
