heavy distorted funky bass
Always nice to play around with open strings, here the open D string and using notes from the D mixolydian scale on the G string.
You only get this sound and feel with a pick, It would just sound wrong with fingerstyle, therefore all you young bassplayers starting out: be able to play fingerstyle, slap and pickstyle, if you aim at being serious bassplayers that are able to cover many styles.

if your motive isnt to make music, your not playing funk.
