Yep. Different plecs for different 'fects.
All I wanna do is rock!
Re: more jangle out of your ric 12
For me, it all comes down to how you hold the pick in your fingers. When I want more attack I choke up on the pick, leaving just the edge of it beyond my fingertips. This takes the flex out of the pick leaving it just as stiff as a thicker pick. Then, whenever I want more zing, I simply loosen my grip.ByrdBro wrote:Yes, this is an interesting observation
However I've always used heavy plectrums, currently favouring 96mm Dunlop Delrins.
And to be honest with the picking rhythm style of playing I use, with thin picks its not possible to get the
attack and articulation. So I'm actually fascinated as to how a thin plectrum could produce more jangle.
Am sure this subject will roll and roll

Clint,
What you typed sounds like the blurb for a Dava pick: http://www.davapick.com/picks/dava_control

Oh, that's too funny. You can do that with any pick, why would anyone pay extra for their special pick?

I've been using Dunlop Tortex .50mm picks on my Rickenbackers ever since I got my 360/12 in 2010. Anything thinner felt too flimsy, and anything heavier didn't bring out the chime of the guitar. It does have something to do with hitting each low course and octave separately and distinctly rather than together like a single string. Of course, the way you hold the pick affects tone in major ways, as folks here have noted.

I can't seem to use anything less than a .73, or at a push a .60. I think it might be due to having to get a big sound out of my Jazzmasters and Casino in a band setting!
