Pick survey...

[joey_capps]

I too will use whatever I can get for free from a guitar salesman, but I REALLY like these a lot now and am trying to stick strictly to them:



Especially for 12-string. Mmm mmm mmm. The pointy tip is great.

I was going to get a big bag of them with my name on them, but then realized that the printing wears off easily. So I might or might not now.

I like the Tortex Sharp .71mm as well. They are, however, difficult to find here in Ontario (kind of like Rics). I usually buy out the store when I find them (unfortunately I can't do that with Rics) . I may have cornered the Ontario market on them, although I'm at the point where I may not have to buy another pick in my life.

Damon's looks like an original oldie. I've got a couple of them that were given to me by somebody in the distant past.

There is an ebay seller who sells similar new ones. However, lately he's had every possible color except tortoise-shell. Here's a link to some in fake abalone:

Thanks for the link. These are the same as the Fender H320 picks which are shorted than the 'Lennon' pick. I've asked him if he had any just a little longer.

Only the best......

Solid silver .60mm.

I got one of those for Christmas a couple of years ago. Mine's the version with a chain for hanging round your neck though.

The chain is not for hanging round your neck! Use your imagination!

For flushing the bog? Sorry, you've lost me there, mate.

Standard Martin and Gibson mediums and lights do the job for me. Over 'n out.......Goofyfoot.

Let me get this straight...I always thought that a kown was about 1,200 hurns.

Now you tell me it vomits, too?

Evidently I type a lot like I play. And somehow vomit is correct. Go figure. I think 1,200 HURLS.

"Klown Vomit" is the correct expression.

I've used the confetti picks too. They are among some of the better Fenders IMO.

Abalone Moto celluloids like this come in a handy 12-pack for five bucks; I like the red ones too.

I used Jim Dunlop standard nylons (.46 .60 and .73) until I discovered George Dennis picks. Much the same as the Dunlops but they have a much 'grippier' surface, which suits my rather 'loose' pick holding technique.

The only problem was I had to buy 72 of each of my preferred gauges..... so I'm 'picked up' for life!!

These are my favorite pick as well. I'd already been using the standard yellow Tortex when I stumbled across these, which I like even better.

I use fender heavys, generally some crazy tortoise shell color. Anything thinner feels flimsy

[Wurlitzer]

I like the fender confetti picks too.
I wish Rick made a quality pick but
no one would agree on what it would be.

[teb]

Fender thins with a thin rubber grip applied to keep them from slipping. A thin, adjustable Bumblebee thumb pick when fingerpicking.
