Hey Pabs no I was given them free by Crimson Guitars when I ordered some templates. Also got some free wooden humbucker mounts too. Did you ever use plans to make templates I may need the neck ones and fret markers.truss rod cover

Ok, now we're just gettin silly.

This thing is huge. 9mm thick.

Pabs you have just made the pick equivalent of the Purple Plectrum!!! (the small one)

[kimball492]

Yep Pabs that looks like a Bass Players pick that's been on steroids.

That was the idea, bro. Not a fan of this one. Way too ungainly. Sounds good with chords, but meh.

So now it's time for the 25mm PP?

I tend to chop-and-change a bit when it comes to picks, I used to use really thin flimsy picks when I first started out playing guitar, then I found out that one of my favourite guitarists, Eric Johnson, used Jazz III picks I had to give them a try, recently I've been using 3mm Stubbies, and some new picks called Teckpicks, they are about 1mm thick and about the same size as a Jim Dunlop .73mm Tortex pick, but are made of metal, there's three types, one is made of Brass, one is made of Aircraft-grade Aluminium and is black with a smooth surface, the other is also made of Aircraft-grade Aluminium but is silver with a textured surface, all three types have three 3mm sized holes drilled in them, the pic below shows what they look like.

Cool, those picks look pretty nice, DrN. Do they produce a brighter tone than plastics like the other metal picks going around?

Currently 3 mm dunlop big stubbies.

I have a wrist problem which means I can no longer play bass with fingers. Over about 5 years playing with picks this is what I ended up on. I prefer the shape as it allows the pick to slide over the string rather than an edge getting caught and they also last a long time (unlike a lot of my previous picks).
