I haven't seen a thread on this since I started frequenting the HCBF, so I figured I'd go ahead and post it.

 

What do you guys use pick-wise for your basses?

Bass: Dunlop Tortex Purple (only very rarely though)

Guitar: Dunlop Tortex Orange or Green.

 

I don't know the thickness, the writing is all rubbed off.

Fender extra heavy (and extra large)

 

Also a friend of mine down in Bellows Falls makes stuff out of bone, antlers, (legal) scrimshaw and tusks. Using the Dunlop as a template, he increased it 20% and made me one out of cow bone which is 1.14mm at the tip and 1.42mm on the body. Indistructible and helps me play very aggressively, but the Fenders are as good for that.

Why would I want to duplicate finger tone with a pick? If I want finger tone, I use my fingers.

Good question. The only time I can think of doing that is if a guitard would have to play bass and he can't play finger style. A fresh, felt pick will duplicate the tone of fingers for that person.
