Picks

[Explorer84]

I use the Jim Dunlop XL Series Jazz III picks. They have a much smoother surface which don’t “grip” the strings quite as much.

Anybody try these?

For bass I like these Dunlop Primetone 3mm picks

These look good

Amateur bass player, but if I am using a pick it is Purple Tortex.

This. It used to say "0.10" before the ink wore off.

I have the opposite experience; i.e. a lighter pick sounds "clicky", and I need a certain thickness (1,1,14mm) to avoid it! :o

thanks for sharing.

Same here

My favorite acoustic pick is a Dunlop 0.73mm nylon, but I can use anything with similar weight and flex. I don't care for the loud 'click' I get from a heavier pick on acoustic.

For bass I swear by yellow 0.73mm Ultex triangle picks. They have the punch and 'heaviness' of a thicker pick without the click/clank.

For bass; I like a Gator 2mm...

but for guitars; I swear by rosewood/walnut wooden picks! Once I tried wood- I'm NEVER going back!! =)

Timber Tones got some nices ones; (wanting to try their carbon fiber ones?!), ... but the ones on Wish, made out of (sorry, rain forest), is the very best.

You got me thinking Erl, I think I want to try some shark tooth picks on guitar.

Most of that is grown on plantations now, I considered growing Teak but I couldnt have handled the 6 years with no income and have still put out $$ for labor and fertilizer.

I went with the eucalyptus instead, because it only had a 3-4 year turnaround time.

It really depends on what I am doing. I look at picks like golf clubs or paintbrushes. Different picks for different situations. I will say the more stunning involved the lighter the pick, the more aggressive the lead playing the thicker the pick up to 2 - 3mm.

Essentially this. My primary pick on electric is purple Tortex (1.14mm), but I"ll also use blue (1mm), green (0.88mm) or yellow (0.73mm) depending on what I'm playing through and the tone I'm after. I play a Fender Heavy if that's what's available, but I generally stick with those four because I've found what works for me. I played original Jazz IIIs for years but stopped because I didn't like how bright they were when recording.

I use a copper pick on my Tele, a Dunlap medium thumb pick on acoustic, and on the rare occasion I use a pick on bass; felt.

I like a lot of really bright attack especially for my bass sound.
