Black means "punk."

| | | | big and thick (dunlop 1.5mm triangular)
I’m largely a finger style player but I do use Dunlop triangular 1.5 mm picks on occasion. Not only are they thick but they are big picks so you can get a good grip.
Picks are cheap so buy several all in differen guauages and see for yourself.
The worst mistake a newbie picker can make is trying to play an advanced pick piece liek "Roundabout". Start with easy stuff.
I find that a hard rock bass line that has repetitive 8th notes lends itself well for using a pick interms of its ease and desirability of that sound. |

mostly for overdriven parts, because in my opinion overdrive/dist. on bass sounds better with a pick.
and i use the jim dunlop usa nylon .60mm or 73.mm. |

| | | | Tortex 88mm - picks are great for that wrist muted sound.. |
