Picks - What's your preference?

[stan]

i've always found it hard to use a pick, and mainly use fingers. i also use my thumb a lot, sort of Wes Montgomery style (without the talent)

I started with 0.88mm Dunlop picks then went to 0.88mm Max Grips..... Now I prefer a thicker pick (better tone, more control, louder tone overall) and I use Dunlop Max Grip 1.5mm picks, and I'd love to test a Pabs Custom Pick!

Sweet. Pm me your address and I'll swing one out to you. Got a colour choice?

First of impressions are quite good. It took a couple of strums to get used to the feel of it, but sounds stronger and maybe a bit more articulate. No clacking in between strings and the sharp point makes picking out individual strings a tad easier.

I use wood plecks seems to give me nice tone on guitar and bass when needed( mostly use finger style on bass though)
See pics I need to sand edges and as you can see there's different thicknesses. Ref tone differences between them recording at 96khz .I can't tell lol. Recommend a hardwood as you can appreciate.

Sweet Pabs, sending you my address now. Also a good tip dont use celluloid as they wear out really fast, I used a Gibson pick for what would be about 3 weeks and its now more like a circle than a triangle, yet my Max Grip which I have been using for around six months is still going strong and staying in a decent shape.....

Nah mate, I'm using acrylic. These should last for years and years.

I never said you were using celluloid, I was providing a helpful tip to the forumites
Yeah acrylic will last for donkey's years, I might have to do a sound demo if I get the chance.... Your prototype reminds me of the Gravity picks, which IMO are bloody amazing picks!

Fair enough, I can't stand celluloid picks.

Nice Kimball! Did you make those?
