What pick do you use with your 12 string?

Post by loverickbass »

I'm using a medium Fender tort pick on my 12's with pyramids. I love to experiment; what are you guys using for picks? I would also be interested in what type strings your using as well.

Thanks,

Cole

Dunlop heavy, Rick strings stock.

Heavy pick? Cheese and crackers, man. Where's the subtlety? Image
You want to put that where?

Has anyone tried the Dunlop .38 picks? VERY THIN! It has a weird sound to it when strumming. You almost hear more of the pick than the Ric.

I use almost exclusively Dunlop .46s on both the 330 and 660. I find anything over .50 too heavy for me.

I use .50s for pickin' and .46s for strummin' although the .46s are fine for both.

Wow Howard, those .46's are super lite too! What are your string gauges?
