BASS: oh, cliche topic - what picks do you use!

Post by Bg »

Sorry! I use fingers (oh-err) mostly, have moved onto 3 but there are times and songs when only a hard hitting pick will do.

I've always used those dunlop big stubbies - and I have a couple of thicknesses but I'm finding them slippery, both in the fingers and on the string.
I think I need to change. And I struggle with my dunlop jazz picks when I dig in, they end up spread across the room! So a big pick would be good!
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

I have some really old Jim Dunlop Nylon 1mm's that i use, otherwise its the daddario Duralin 0.6mm. I want to get some Grover/Allmans as ive got some Nita pics and they stay put well.

50c coin - the thinnest ones I can find. I have a few from 2006 that are really thin, all the rest seem to be a bit too thick for my liking

Dunlop Jazz III XL usually, although I bought a crap load of the purple Dunlop Tortex ones from Ali Express and they are so close to the real thing I very much suspect they are.
The older I get, the more disappointed in myself I become.
