We've seen about everything from everybody, except picks. This can be dangerous, as can be read here: And this is why I'm tantrum quitting TalkBass.... I'll take a chance and show the pickage we've got here.

^ That's the invisible, weightless, all purpose pick we're missing here.

I guess I use a pick for 1/3 of my playing. Most of the picks shown are used by my son on the guitar. I sometimes play a song with several different picks, just to find the best match.

My favorite guitar pick, though I didn't really like it too much on bass, too small for my taste.

For bass I used one of these:


But I'm 100% fingers now, after putting all that time into learning 3 finger technique I can't justify do anything but.

When I get a chance tomorrow I'll gather a bunch up and take a picture. Most of the picks I own are guitar picks though.. only have a couple for bass.

We got these printed at In Tune Custom Printed Guitar Picks by InTuneGP with our band's logo and they are awesome- 1 color one print, a gross was $65 with shipping and setup. I've always played with 2.0 gator grips and these are 1.0 but I absolutely love them. The surface is a little bit matte so they don't get slippery and the graphics are staying on incredibly well. They are also wearing awesome. I highly recommend them.

The ONLY pick I've ever used that can retain the 'fatness' off fingers but still give you the kind of cut and attack that you can only get from a pick.

Jim Dunlop Nylon 1.00mm, the black ones. I use the .72mm ones too, but generally for guitar.
