Members Michael Rendon Posted August 4, 2015 Members Share Posted August 4, 2015 V-Picks Screamer. If I want a softer, rounder tone I pull out a Dava Red Delrin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 1001gear Posted August 4, 2015 Author Members Share Posted August 4, 2015 Dunlop nylon 60s when I'm not fingerpicking. Love the raised topography - easy to hang on to. On grip, acetal polymer is strange stuff. It has a smooth matte feel and is pretty easy to hold - I've fallen asleep holding them and woken up still holding 'em. The odd part is when they get wet the adhesion increases and they hold like a dry celluloid one. I think those V Picks do something like that as well.

Members DeepEnd Posted August 4, 2015 Members Share Posted August 4, 2015 For electric, Dava Control Pick in teal; for acoustic, Dunlop .60mm nylon like wankdeplank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Preacher Posted August 4, 2015 Members Share Posted August 4, 2015 Fender medium. I got a bag of 100 off ebay for stupid cheap - likely not authorized Fender but I'm betting they're from the same factory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jazzer2020 Posted August 5, 2015 Members Share Posted August 5, 2015 Fender Medium, mid-size when I use a pick.But I use my thumb 95% of the time now (and fingers too). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gdsmithtx Posted August 6, 2015 Members Share Posted August 6, 2015 Generally Dunlop Tortex green or blue, though I do have a {censored} ton of the Dunlop Dirtbag and Lucky #13 picks around that I use a lot as well. I like the graphics on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Infinite Ego Posted August 7, 2015 Members Share Posted August 7, 2015 I've played with various iterations of the Jazz III (used them for about 20 years), Clayton, Red Bear, V-Picks, and dozens of others (boutique and common) and the one that came out on top and that I've used for a couple of years is the Wegen Big City. If you like a teardrop jazzy thing w/o weird artifacts (V-picks), positive attack, durability, smooth release, good grip....check out Wegen... I tend toward the 1.8mm over the 1.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members knotty Posted August 10, 2015 Members Share Posted August 10, 2015 It depends on the sound I want. Lately it's Fender Classic Celluloid medium Snap, the "pearl" medium is fast becoming my favourite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Mostly Tortex - red for acoustic strumming, yellow for picking and general purpose electric use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gardo Posted August 11, 2015 Members Share Posted August 11, 2015 Mu fingers actually tell me what pick to use. As I play I make subconciuss adjustments for tone. Sometimes I notice the picik slipping in my grip I'll look at it and realize it's a heavy pick so I switch to medium and no more slipping I had been relaxing my grip to soften the sound. Or I might be gripping tightly and close to the point .oh it's a light pick ,switch to medium and my grip is normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Notes_Norton Posted August 11, 2015 Members Share Posted August 11, 2015 Medium strength and white in color. Fender are first choice because they are consistent and I can find them almost everywhere. White color is important, because I play in a few really dark rooms, and although I don't drop them often, when I do, I like to know where they land. Aside: I've been playing on a quay, in a marina with salt water under us for 7 years. Like most decks, it's slatted wood with very little space between the boards. In all these years I've dropped 3 picks there, and each one went between the slats to the water below. Freaky.
