Picks

1mm Black Dunlop nylon for bass.
Those Primetone beveled smooth triangle picks are nice for acoustic guitar, kind of like the poor man's Blue Chip, but I still prefer the Blue Chip, and the Blue Chips don't seem to wear out.

I've really come back around to thinner picks after going on a crazy exodus and playing every thickness and shape out there and then getting into punk rock bass and realizing that the standard shaped Dunlop Tortex .73s are absolutely freaking amazing for the style.

A really thin pick is like a limiter, you only get so much volume no matter how hard you hit the strings.

Fender 346 Extra Heavy for me, by the gross..... I like the rounded edges.

I rarely use picks, I always use Heavy or Extra Heavy when I do. I had a bunch and lost all of them, so I just bought two 12 packs of the Ernie Ball glow in the dark ones, to try and see if I don't lose them that fast that way. So far, so good.

i've never played with a pick consistently: studio mostly, one tune (or parts thereof) at a time, and i feel like my pick skills are clumsy. so i recently bought these:

they're wildly expensive (IMO/IME) but they have shapes/features/sizes that i'm hoping will help me hang on to them --- picks with training wheels. there are only a few tunes in my present life where i'd like to use a pick. but i've recently been inspired by the several postings of bobby vega's playing. he's pretty much the bomb.
