Members Megadeth Man Posted October 7, 2006 Members Share Posted October 7, 2006 At the height of my madness I used 56 - 13 strings (standard tuning) and coins for picks. Then I moved to metal picks, then Gibo extra heavies. Now I use 0.5 mm nancy boys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DonK Posted October 7, 2006 Members Share Posted October 7, 2006 I alternate between Wegen a 2.5mm "Twin" (jazz size pick) and these:They're Fred Kelly Babyfat picks - about the size of a Dunlop Jazz III, but thicker, about 2mm. The first one is Lexan, the same stuff Dunlop Stubbies are made from, the second is Delrin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cratz2 Posted October 7, 2006 Members Share Posted October 7, 2006 Dunlop Tortex... Either the greens or the blues. Last time, I picked up some Ultex or something like that. I was also checking out a few picks with extra gripping surfaces. One is called something like cat's tongue and one feels like it has sandpaper built into it. Really, I liked Dunlop Nylons more than the Tortex, but I didn't like how large of an area the grippy dot things covered up on the nylons so I went with the Tortexes.

Members AtomHeartMother Posted October 7, 2006 Members Share Posted October 7, 2006 Dunlop Ultex picks (1.0mm) They're the best picks I've come across. I don't care for the Dunlop Tortex picks for electric guitar as they have a raspy, bright attack. I like them for acoustic for that reason though. The Ultex are a bit more neutral and give some fatness to the tone. I also like Fender heavy picks. For acoustic, I like orange/red Tortex and Fender lights.

They have the opposite problem of slippery picks: they're immoveable. Ibanez makes a SandPick; there's also the Kool Pick, which has a sandpaper-like insert. As you can see, I spend too much time worrying about picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members xStonr Posted October 7, 2006 Members Share Posted October 7, 2006 This is my new favorite pick. A little pointy and a non slip grippy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got some of those when they were first introduced, but within a few days of use, the dimples rubbed/fell off. Have you found the same thing, or have the fixed them?y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RUExp? Posted October 7, 2006 Members Share Posted October 7, 2006 0.5mm isn't really that thick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DonK Posted October 7, 2006 Members Share Posted October 7, 2006 Originally posted by RUExp? 0.5mm isn't really that thick +1. The only pick thinner than .50mm that I can think of is the Dunlop Nylon .46mm, which feels roughly like the feathers of a badminton shuttlecock - literally.

Members No Soul Posted October 7, 2006 Members Share Posted October 7, 2006 I used these pink playboy picks. They suck, but damn they look good. Otherwise I go .60 or .73mm tortex or .73 or .88mm nylon dunlops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
