| | | | As short as they can possibly be. I find that they get in the way, and I never actually use them to alter my tone- if I'm looking for more articulation than I can get with just my fingers, I'll go for a pick.

I keep my picking nails short enough to I can use them or not. I curl or "claw" my fingers like a guitarist for fingernail stuff.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: KC | | | I play fingerstyle jazz guitar, and get acrylic overlays (no fake nails, just the resin to strengthen my own) for that style of playing. I keep them long enough so that they just peek out past my fingers.
I don't particularly like them for bass playing, but am getting used to them. I prefer no nails for bass. |

I can't stand the noise they make when I'm playing like 16th notes and you hear finger nail noise on some notes.

If I want all that click-click nonsense, all I have to do is look underneath the fridge and I'll find something left over from my guitard days.
