Picks

[Newbie]

yeh im using te purp one. ok i will go down davis and buy if got time

 

[Praetorian]

Hahahaha

I dont get the scratching noise with the little stubbies.

2mm and 3mm are purple, while the 1mm are red.

They're excellent picks, in my opinion.

the translucent purple ones produce that awful scratching noise.
Try the grey ones. made of a different material that eliminates the unwanted noise.

I forgot to add that the scratchy sound will only surface if like me, you pick the string at an angle. I suppose you won't enconter that problem if you pick parallel to the strings.
I am only referring to the big stubbys. Never tried the small ones.

 

[Praetorian]

Ahhh yes the small ones are excellent!!!!

I especially love their tapered ends, so that when viewed from the side looks kinda like a knife.

It makes for great string releasing. The worst scratchy sound i got is from the Jazz III pick, due to its flat and rough finish. But thats just my own picking style. I know more than a few people who can use the Jazz III with no problem.

urgghhh.....damn typo. Guess I need some sleep.

I don't smear perfume on my hands before I play.... so no, my picks don't smell good :wink:

 

[pooo]

My picks will never smell good. All that sweat, oil and bacteria, urgh, god knows how foul that thing actually is

I find that the delrin dunlop picks wear out pretty quickly, about 1 pick per week.

I normally use Ernie Ball heavies but switched to Fender heavies recently. Anyone knows where I can still buy the Ernie Ball heavies?

 

[dhalif]

its not bout thickness.. the thickness doesnt go away.. and jazz 3.. IS thick.. just goes blunt..at the tip..

 

[hifi_killer]

^^can use penknife to sharpen?

i use the awe in one rock series guitar plectrums. It claims to give u 6 playing edges. which i find only 2 are useful, but most importanly, it gives u an awesome grip.

P.s can someone fill me in with the different materials and the sound/tone they produces?

 

[beary2teddy]

i tried metal picks once and after a while bits of shavings from the pick got stuck on the pup's poles :roll: ... after that switched to regular tortex 1.14mm

I like to bite my picks. I really like the D'andrea 1.00mm. I stole it from my guitarist so I don't know where to buy them. They're yellow in colour. Anyone know where I can get some? I might buy one whole bulk so that I can throw at people. :lol:
