Members Jeremy3 Posted October 7, 2006 Members Share Posted October 7, 2006 I use the yellow ones (.73 mm) exclusively. They rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members C.Ketola Posted October 7, 2006 Members Share Posted October 7, 2006 Dunlop Delrin - the black ones. They're the best imo - I've been using them for two years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AunShui Posted October 7, 2006 Members Share Posted October 7, 2006 Fender 351 premium celluloid heavy. I bought about a gross a year ago and i've used maybe 10 in the past year, so i'm stuck with them for awhile. i'm thinking about trying some new picks, namley the jazz-shaped pics and picks with grips. FYI, for bass I like to use the Fender 346 style heavy classic celluloids, though I play about 90% finger style/slap bass and about 10% with a pick, usually only for those ultra heavy/fast phrases.

Members dwerlin Posted October 7, 2006 Members Share Posted October 7, 2006 I use Dulop Tortex Wedge picks, 0.73mmthey're a tad wider edge to edge at the top for grip, and a tad sharper at the point than regular Tortex picks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members book_of_lies777 Posted October 7, 2006 Members Share Posted October 7, 2006 I used Fender mediums forever... last year I switched to the blue Dunlop Tortex 1mm... either one is fine with me, to be honest.on the other hand, I detest the feel of nylon picks.

Members mikesr1963 Posted October 7, 2006 Members Share Posted October 7, 2006 Anything and anysize. Just depends on what tune I'm playing, how much string noise they make, whether I'm strumming or picking single strings, or if I'm playing lead or rhythm.

Members humbuckerstrat Posted October 7, 2006 Members Share Posted October 7, 2006 I love these, Dunlop Herco flat/thumbpicks. They allow me to fingerpick or play slide if I want to, plus I can do anything with them that I can with a regular flatpick. But I use the heavy ones (not the mediums).

Members comfortablynumb Posted October 7, 2006 Members Share Posted October 7, 2006 I use Dunlop Nylon .88mm..They last forever and don't fall out of my hand. I used Planet Waves Delrin picks before, but I wore those out too fast.I don't like celluloid picks, but I'll play with one if I have to. I'm real picky about the size, too. I don't like anything other than .88mm. I'll go to a .73mm if I absolutely have to, but I won't be happy about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jrockbridge Posted October 7, 2006 Members Share Posted October 7, 2006 Originally posted by Megadeth Man At the height of my madness I used 56 - 13 strings (standard tuning) and coins for picks.

Members Pablo Jose Posted October 8, 2006 Members Share Posted October 8, 2006 Originally posted by DonK 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. Now I'm interested. Dealer in Europe?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DonK Posted October 8, 2006 Members Share Posted October 8, 2006 Originally posted by Pablo Jose Now I'm interested. Dealer in Europe?? I order them online, either from Elderly Instruments for directly from Fred Kelly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Hoddy Posted October 8, 2006 Members Share Posted October 8, 2006 Fender mediums...and I just got three dozen of the Fender 60th anniversary medium picks and they seem a tad bit stiffer than the regular mediums. Not a heavy though. I really like them and I've been buying up as many of them on Ebay as I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 89strat Posted October 26, 2006 Members Share Posted October 26, 2006 I like fender premium celluloids - Heavy . But I go through them very quickly. Maybe it's the way I play, but they don't last that long. What pick material lasts the longest and has a similar feel and tone to celluloid?
