| | Registered User | | Join Date: Sep 2006 Location: Perth, Western Australia | | I get these "Alice" brand picks in a little tin box, about 30 or so for about ten bucks.
They come in 4 sizes between .51mm and .87mm.
I rarely use picks myself and prefer a softer pick when I do use one, but the guitarists I know like the fact a 99.9% fingerstyle bassist carries a box or two of these about, and I always get compliments on the tins, as if I had the brains to take them out of the bag and into the tin

| | | | I use 2mm picks for extra manliness. They're kinda hard to use. Maybe that's why I don't play with a pick too often. |

Brian | I have, I didn't like the tone, they wore out very quickly, and they were too expensive, try finding wegin(sp) picks, they are incredible 'boutiqe' picks
I prefer big stubby, 1mm

I just wanted to let you know that what I've seen of your work on this site is great. Beautiful basses and I've heard nothing but good things about how they sound/play!

| | | | If a plectrum is required I alternate between felt, or a 5.0mm Wedgie depending on what type of attack I need. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: Metro Atlanta | | | So many different answers lol. Oh well. So much for getting a consensus. Not that I'm surprised; I figured with all the picks out there, lots of different people would be using lots of different ones. I guess I'll just have to give the ol' trial and error a shot and see what I like. Thanks for the input, guys.

Just go wild and pick out a bunch. |
