Show your picks!

[soundgardener75]

Here's what I've been using since '95 back in the Philippines. Wife bought me a bunch of purple ans blue when she was in New York. It avoids lazy guitarists who don't even bring their own picks to a gig from borrowing yours.



Let's see yours!

Hahah thats a wild ass pick brolando

What's the purpose of that shape?


I started using these a couple years ago and now they are the only thing I'll use <3

It has to be the XL's - I can't stand the normal Jazz III's or the Eric Johnson versions

[phrophus]

Or whatever else I can find lying around.

Devin: I haz no idea, but I just adapted to it and it works. I will say this though, for recording, I'd still use regular sized picks for clarity, the weird sides work well for my noise scrape style and shit.

I LOVE the thick rubber Wedgie picks for bass playing

I just discovered them a couple of months ago. The fockin RULE!! I seriously can't use other picks now.

I've been using these for a long time. Used really thin picks back when I first started playing. Now I gotta have 2.0 or I'm not happy.

[Dickarms]

Used black Jazz IIIs for years, up until a few months ago when I found some of these in a store:

Went through Tortex, Gator Grip, Stubbies, etc. over the years before finally finding the Jazz IIIs. Tried the full size Ultex a while ago but didn't like 'em. Having not used 'em for years, I forgot that it was more the lack of a beveled edge on the full size stuff that I don't like the sound and feel of. In Jazz III form, the Ultex is great.

Those or the black tortex jazz 1.0mm lately for me.

Dunlop Gel Heavy:

I use these interchangeably. The yellow Ibanez pick is about 20 years old and shows very little wear from playing. When I was into Metallica and the like years ago I used the heavy tortex picks, but these days the medium/.73mm picks are perfect.

[twisty]

same,have a bunch but none have any of the writing or turtle left on them

[Elessar [Sly]]

Tortex 0.60

[PurpleTrails]

Big Stubby 2.0 mm:

208...

[J.R.]

usually in blue

[Tortuga]

Started using these when I was grinding the tips of my tortex pics into oblivion from one night's practice. Interesting thing is, they're a bit stiff, so the gauge I use tends to be a step or two lighter than other picks



My buddy got me started with these a few months back, and they're really great. Long-lasting (did I mention I'm a cheap bastard?), and really seem to work with me. The other thing he did was show me how he slashed a 'grip' on the top with a razor knife, which I like a LOT.

Been using these for a while. I used stubbies for a long time, then jazz IIIs, then ended up with the green gator grips for a while, but in the end, I like the Ultex ones the best.

[sleewell]

yeah i use these too but the blue ones. thin.
