protect strings from picks

[zazin]

Sometimes I uses picks for my songs. But when I uses metal picks to get those GODFLESH sounds, metal dust accomulates on my TB pickups. How to protect the strings from picks? Especially metal ones?

i have the same issue, i use a wood pick and it is worse! haha the wood just get torn away from the friction of the string, now i am using a dunlop medium and it is not that bad anymore,

try not use coated string as i realize it leaves more residue at the pickup, the coated will just fall off

one thing that i realise is that if i use light pick, i am able to get a much brighter tone noticeable in the high mid area of the bass than a thicker pick, but then your pick will break easily,

another way is to get that new cleaning tool from citymusic, cant remember the name
