.38mm picks?

They would more be for guitarists who need to 'shred' alot rather than bassists.

 

Holy cow!!!! I can't imagine using that thin a pick on bass, but that's just me. I love 2.0 mm Big Stubby's.

 

While reading about alternate picking I've found out that a lot of the "shredders" use heavy picks (3mm for example: http://www.theodoreziras.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=21) so I guess the thin pick is more useful for strumming.

 

I have pretty much every gauge of pick in my bag.

the .38 mm Acetal, I use for guitar.

 

The thinnest I've got is a .73mm

 

Yes I do. I can slap,pluck,tap and pick while still holding my pick.

Here's a clip of some one asking me about my picking technique, after seeing me utilize in during a show the previous night.

I'm explaining the basic approach to my slapping,plucking and picking technique all rolled into one and I'm using a Dunlop nylon .38mm pick

 

I have a .18 blue triangle pick (measured it with a micrometer) I found on the pavement outside GC. No name on it and its about the thickness of a yellow post it. Never tried to use it.

 

The lowest I'll go is 3mm.

 

I can get no dynamics out of a thin pick

I don't understand the ridiculously thick gauges either.

i get next to no flex out of a Jazz III

 

Hey Jauqo I myself also do that, didn't know of someone else doing it! But you do it better than me... Still, I'm just 14 so time's my friend!

 

In some parts of this clip I'm applying my hybrid picking technique.
