Pick users i need help finding a pick

[jessicabass]

I have used the max grip picks alot and like them but am looking for something else.
Looking for a pick that has less of the high attack and more of the purcussive finger like tones.
Any good one?

Get yourself some tortex picks or a big stubby. However, why don't you just use your fingers? No matter what picks you get it's still gonna have that "pick" sound to it somewhat.

Unable to because of personal problems.
I can do one finger on the slow laid back stuff but not on other stuff.

I tried this Wedgie Picks sampler pack from bassstringonline.

There's all kinds styles, thicknesses, and materials to experiment with. Even some rubber ones! It's a cheap way to figure out what you like and what you don't.

These are the picks I use and I love them.

I've tried a bunch... felt, rubber, Ultem, Tortex, nylon, celluloid, acrylic, and some biodegradable picks too.

Felt was just too undefined, rubber sounded good but had next to zero durability, the biodegradable stuff sounded kind of hollow (which can be cool, but I wouldn't want it for my main tone), nylon wasn't quite punchy enough, the Ultem is cool but not quite thumpy enough.

Out of them all my favorites were the 3.0mm acrylic, and what has become my go to pick, the Dunlop 2.0mm Gator grip. For my money the Gator grip has the right balance of thump and punch without being too "clicky" sounding.

Hope that helps and good luck on the search.

I've found the Gator Grip series doesn't have as much high attack like the max grips, but still won't slip out of your hand

I see. Well the general consensus so far is with the big stubby so I think that one is good bet.

I use the purple ones. There are two kinds, though. The Big Stubbies and the Triangle Stubbies. I use the Triangle Stubbies.

V-Picks - Freakishly Large Pointed

Really love these picks.
I was using V-Picks Screamers for a bit but the FLP are great.
Thinking of trying the Psycho and Colossal...
The Colossal is said to sound most like using your thumb.

Those are some weird picks but yet intriguing also

Tortex. I like the lightest gauges, personally. I hold them closer to the tip.

Purple. I actually use the 3.0mm, not the 2.00:

Cheap enough that you could try out both, see which one you like better.

This. After trying umpteen picks when I switched to bass from guitar long ago, I discovered the Gator Grips and never looked back.

I prefer the dark purple .96mm ones. They are just thick enough to be durable but have a very slight amount of give versus the 1.0mm which I felt was a little too much.

+1 I use both the 2mm and the 3mm

Hard leather - I bought a bag of some guy in the UK (ebay). 1/8"(3mm)thick), seem to be full grain cowhide. If not stiff enough you just squirt a little Super glue on them, let dry, good to go. The Super GLue trick work on felts too.
