Choice of weapon..?

[showmemagic]

What's your favourite Pick? (thickness, brand etc)?

[cjmodulus]

Good old fashioned claymore. Gotta love those 2 handed swords.

And now to seriously answer your question, I use the orange Dunlop tortex pics. I believe they're .66 mm thickness.

[R. Laevinus]

Fender classic celluloid, extra heavy.

a lot of pick bass players seem to like thinner picks, i guess because the give serves to "compress" the attack a little, evening out the note-to-note volume.

i hate that, and gotta have stiff picks (at least as strong as a fender heavy); i'll control my own dynamics, thank you very much.

Dunlop Tortex (. 88mm) when I use a pick.

[Execrate]

Dunlop #8011 (White) Hard Felt. 3.2 mm thick.

[GeneralElectric]

Dunlop Nylon 60s with the grip. I like the flexibility and it lets me play faster and more complicated stuff. Plus the string to string volume is pretty good as well.

[FaithNoMan]

Thick enough to be stiff, and thin and rigid enough to have a nice crisp attack:
