Members bluesrock70's Posted September 17, 2007 Members Share Posted September 17, 2007 I have always used .38mm plastic, 9's on strings and sometimes 10's. Am I loosing a lot of tone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ItchyFingers Posted September 17, 2007 Members Share Posted September 17, 2007 That all sounds pretty thin, but if it works for you, then stick to it. Try playing some friends' guitars that use bigger strings and see what you think. I used to play .10's but recently switched up to .11's. Noticeable difference in tone, not so much in feel - maybe a little "stiffer" or tougher to bend. For picks, I go back and forth between blue and yellow Tortex, which I think are 1mm - .78mm, respectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jackknife Posted September 17, 2007 Members Share Posted September 17, 2007 Dunlop Jazz 3mm usually, but I got some odd red ones from the store the other day, a little thicker but shorter, like 'em anyhow.I like sharper picks with an edge so I can actually scrape with them. And I use .11's (TnT Boomers ftw) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members recordingtrack1 Posted September 17, 2007 Members Share Posted September 17, 2007 On electric, for strings I use .10's and for picks I use .73 Tortex On acoustic, for strings I use .13's and .73 Tortex picks, though sometimes, depending on the sound I want to get I use Fender Thins. I also use Fender Thins on my Mandolin, but I pinch down on them very close to the tip so there's not much give. RT1:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members CGord Posted September 17, 2007 Members Share Posted September 17, 2007 1.26mm Clayton acetals, string gaugues 10-64. At risk of feeding the troll I'd say there is very little tone difference, but I feel more accurate with a thicker pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Norcal_GIT_r Posted September 17, 2007 Members Share Posted September 17, 2007 I use Dunlop shaped Mammoth ivory picks that are about 1.1mm thick. Nothing like playing with a 10,000 year old pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members humbuckerstrat Posted September 17, 2007 Members Share Posted September 17, 2007 Snarling Dogs Brain picks, 1.14 mm (the orange ones). I like the grip on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Volitan Posted September 17, 2007 Members Share Posted September 17, 2007 My main picks are those big rounded triangle ones. 1.00mm. Pretty nice, but little to thin. I think next time I'm gonna get the same thing but in Ultex, because its stronger and stiffer, etc. That said occasionally, I use regular 1.14mm Ultex's and very rarely I use this silver pick that I made. It's a little to thing and I don't want it to chew up the strings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members VonBonfire Posted September 17, 2007 Members Share Posted September 17, 2007 I'm one of those triangle pick guys..... Dunlop stubby triangle 2.0 mm rules. The worlds fastest picking edge, at least for me. 3 sides for the price of one. I even got my dad going on them after he started dropping his little tortex picks.
