That's all I know about it. I normally just walk into my music store and seek em' out. Never once looked at the description
It sounds balsy and makes my bass growl, but at the same time, it can sound warm and soft. |

I like it obvious!

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: Jackson, MO | | | Dunlop Tortex for me, as well. I stick to .73's and buy the black ones for THA METAL! I also just got a half-dozen of the pick of destiny picks... they add something new. Lots of swipe-noise as the pick crosses the string. Bad? Not sure... seems like it'd help the higher-note-shuffles cut a bit.
