Well, if he's like me, there are some in the clothes dryer, some in the change jar, some on the couch, a couple in my wallet, some in the pocket of the pants I wore to the last show, a few in my guitar case, some I will never find, some my other guitarist stole, some on the practice room floor under my amp...etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bucket_brigadier Posted November 9, 2005 Members Share Posted November 9, 2005 Originally posted by yaz75 If they last forever than WHERE ARE THE ONES YOU USED TO PLAY HMMMMMMMMM????????? someone gave me one when I lived in Seattle but I've never seen them in stores. It lasted my for 6 months before it finally cracked, and at the time I was playing bass in a band, i.e. a lot. I just got 24 on ebay, that may well last me a lifetime. JH is a guitarist. okay for guitar=solos, lots of effectsokay for bass=solid state amps, big triangular picks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cowinacape Posted November 9, 2005 Members Share Posted November 9, 2005 I use the Dava control picks in Nylon. And the Jim Dunlop Hotlicks (bottom of the page) Copper picks. I really would like to try out one of those damned Squid picks or what ever the hell they are called though. As well I use fender thins for my acuostic, and for more of an acoustic sound on my electrics, and Dunlop .88mm green tortexs as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Zooey Posted November 9, 2005 Members Share Posted November 9, 2005 I use a 1976 bicentennial Susan B. Anthony dollar. It has a higher zinc to nickel ratio than your standard post-silver standard coin, which really helps give an efferverscent bite to alnico-magnet single coil pickups. The contour formed by Susan's cranial ridge mimics Da Vinci's golden ratio and provides an ideal picking surface for palm muting and pinch harmonics.

Members StrykeBack Posted November 9, 2005 Members Share Posted November 9, 2005 I use the blue herdim pics with the grippies on them, played upside down so the grippies are on the strings...especially for chimey stuff it gets that "ching" sound much like the Edge. Actually same pics and thats how i got into them. Either that or the green or purple tortex pics though both are kinda stiff and sharp. I'm used to a very slight rounded pic after playing the herdims upside down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members slaws Posted November 9, 2005 Members Share Posted November 9, 2005 I use Everly Jazz Star picks. I like these a lot as well. I used gator grips and my pick droppage has gone down significantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
