Pick Poll....

[CHECKMATE]

Okay guys...time for a new poll. What size pick do you use?

[aerostar]

sorry, had to put pick my nose. i usually use medium, but se thin when i'm doing faster stuff.

[sumrnitz]

I'm using a thin Dunlop nylon here lately but it changes with my mood I guess. When I shred bass, its with a medium ( I use fingers mostly).

As I'm mostly a bassist I use my fingers, but on guitar on use a heavy pick ,sometimes medium.

[atomicholiday]

I voted heavy but in all honesty, I've been using Fender EXTRA HEAVY pics for a long, long time.

[ElKaBong]

I like medium nylon.

[KramerWolf]

hey now, this poll was unfair... I hardly ever use a pick, but when I do I use heavy Dunlaps...

I use the heaviest picks that I can find.

[short_circus]

Well, I started out using those little square plastic things you used to get on a loaf of bread,...but I use dunlop thins now. :thumbsup

[inkfish86]

EBE Mediums

(the glow in the dark ones with the alien faces on them)

:D

[Pacer]

I been thinking about making one out of a peso, I like thick ones. :headbang

[KramerWolf]

Pat, I have a 1/4" hunk of steel at the shop... will that be thick enough of a pick for ya? LoL

I use Tortex Orange. .61 or .63

[DethConsumer]

Dunlop Shark Fins! :thumbsup

[KramerGeek]

I used to have a silver dollar that someone carved into a pick but someone stole it from me.

It was awesome and the harmonics that you could with it were incredible.

[Rick S]

I use Tortex Yellow. .73 Always has been my fav. Also, the texture of the Tortex is great.

[KramerGeek]

I'm currently using Dunlop Ultex 1.14 picks.

[jeff]

Electric- Medium
Acoustic-Thin

[Pacer]

I like the Everly's with the star hole in them, easy to hang on to. They have to be thick so ya can wack the crap out of the strings. :lol

[lefthandedshredder]

I use Tortex Yellow. .73 Always has been my fav. Also, the texture of the Tortex is great.

Right on man :thumbsup I dont use anything else but Tortex, love the feel of them especially when they are fresh and still powdery!

Shoulda put the poll in Guages format instead of 'medium' 'heavy' because I'm not really certain if .96 is medium or heavy. Hehe.

I used .96 gator grips for years. Now I've fallen in love with .96 Ultex.


Ultex picks, Ernie Ball regular slinkies 10-46, and Levy's straps.. :headbang

[Tourpicx]

I use Dunlop Gator Grip (Medium) 0.71 mm guitar picks exclusively for electric guitar. :headbang

When playing the bass though, I do not use any picks.

[bkeen]

I pick my nose with a dunlop .80 :D

No really I found some picks I liked in the mid eighties and bought a bag of them and am still using them. They are dunlop mediums I believe. The dark orange ones.... Well thats the color they are now anyway! :D

And I never used a pick on bass either until I did my ripped songs. Thats the only way I could keep up while intoxicated....

:thumbsup

[Bangan]

Tortex .88 - the greeeeen ones :-x

[mrcrazyhimself]

Guys, you gotta try some of the Cool Picks. I forgot who they are made by but the thins are lkie a regular heavy. They take a bit getting used to but they are slightly smaller than a dunlop but i love them. a slightly pointed end for shreading and i get great articulation out of them, give um a try! :thumbsup

[KramerGeek]

This one. And it doubles as a nice coffee table.

I was a die hard dunlop jazz 3 user for a long long time but one day I just totally switched to the tortex .84mm (the green ones)
I was able to bust my chops better with these.

Although, I do go threw them a lot faster.
