Picks - What's your preference?

[wazkelly]

Currently using Jim Dunlop .73mm grey nylon picks mainly for electric and acoustic guitar, and occasionally on bass but working harder on using fingers at present. When playing bass several nights a week about 30 years ago Jim Dunlop 1.0mm black nylon picks were the go as they are durable, did not give off an obvious pick sound, and not so hard that you would end up breaking strings, as did happen on a few occasions using the typical hard plastic ones. If you want more bite or attacking sound from picking would suggest giving one of these acrylic ones a try over metal ones.

So I've given my pick choice before but it has been updated as of recently....

Guitar: 0.71mm Dunlop Gator Grip
Bass: 1mm Dunlop Max Grip

Reason behind going from 1.5 to 1mm is the fact that the 1 is more flexible while still giving the right output from the strings, the 1.5 was just too thick IMO...
And I feel extra shreddy I'll whip out Pablo's picks for a spin on the guitars

OMG. Those are stunning......not that I'd ever pay almost $60 for a pick, but, wow!

yeah they are off the chain , all right. you could wear it ... I'd be too scared to break the damned thing. This guy is on the electric guitars builders resource page on FB. He seems like a good guy, have messaged him about his work

Giving some Dava Control picks a go . The smalljazz pick is my favourite at the moment as its small size in my big ass fingers gives a lot of harmonic fom thumb touches. real easy to get the high gain Harmonic squeal going.

I'm with you Tony, the small Jazz III's. I used to use the larger ones but now that I have gotten used to the small blighters and I don't think there's any going back. Pinch/false harmonics now whether I want them or not. lol.
