Nice sounding new pick

[skydog]

I have been using CoolPicks .80mm and 1.0mm - Elderly Music has them

I like the CoolPicks also in the medium. Elderly is the only place I can find them also. They're great for people with a slippery grip!

+1 on these, too. Use them on the jazz boxes when I'm not using fingernails. Prefer the Fender medium type picks for rock and jazz. Use Herco thumbs picks for the Chet Atkins stuff. These three get 99% of my playing time...

I use the plastick tab that keeps the bread closed. It's square with a round hole and is split so you can reseal the bread bag.

Not sure how many mm thick they are but I get a new one every week.

 

 

I have noticed these used as a makeshift straplock too. just slip em over the post on top of your strap.

Dunlop Gator .96mm Purple. They seem to be just like the Totrtex ones, but the .96mm is a perfect balance for me (not too stiff, not too thin).

i stopped using picks some time ago, used to use a combo of fingers + med. or thick mandolin picks. one make i've tried and really like (but they're 'spensive) is V-picks. i've met and jammed with the designer/owner, Vinni Smith, and his stuff has really caught on. great guy, heckuva picker.

I tried to stop using picks, but I'm too much of a klutz..

I'm with you. Every now and again I make a concerted effort to ditch the pick but the whole growing a thumb nail thing is more than I can stand. At any rate, I've put enough effort into chickin' pickin' that I'm more or less able to accomplish what I want to do with my right hand. I'd sure like to be able to play without a pick though, nothing beats the sound of actual flesh "woomping" out the bass line on a big fat jazz box.

I'm with you Dog. Cool picks are it. I have that slippery grip and

that sandpaper grip works well with me.

I've been using Pickboy 1.0mm Metacarbonates for the last few years. They are very rigid for as thin as they are, and they give a very smooth, glassy tone but with the 'pop' that you get from that thin a pick. None of the "plack plack plack" or dull tone that you get from thick picks.

 

Unfortunately, they wear pretty quickly and are impossible to find locally. I recently tried the Dunlop Ultex 1.0mm pointy, which seems like it might be a good substitute, even if it's not quite as rigid.
