V-Picks

[Killed_by_Death]

These are deserving of their own thread IMHO.

Back when Vinni Smith first started up I got lucky & won a raffle twice, to get free V-Picks.
So, I've managed to try many of them, but the one I got recently is my #1 choice for bass guitar!

mine is the original design, but I still can't figure out what the graphic is supposed to be:

ah I think I see it now, the top of someone's head who happens to have glasses on... maybe...

Love the Blue Traditional Lite. It’s my go to for bass. Has been for some time.

My other fave, when I want that extra scrape, is made for mandolins:

I also just picked up a glow-in-the-dark Screamer:

No association with the product, other than just a happy customer. I'm lucky that our local music store carries them, so I pick up a new one every 3 or 4 months.
I don't need them, though, because they last seemingly forever.


Just gave one away last weekend, because it was just too small:

TBH it's not too small, it's just that I've gotten used to the big Screamer or the Dimension.
The corners of the small pointed one fit inside a quarter...

This is what I'm using right now.

played a V pick for the first time the other day and was blown away. A Euro II. I'm not even really a pick guy but the V pick was different.

I have to try those v-picks!

I bought some big stubbies 1,2,&3mm for 6string and broke the tip off the 1mm really quickly so the others got put away somewhere.

I’m using the 1.90 Clayton triangles for bass, and they are nice, but not perfect.

In the "related but unrelated" category, I use these for mandolin:

I use the "Freakishly Large" (P & R) V-Pick.
I also use the Screamer for acoustic guitars.

got my own V Pick Euro 2 - hands down the best sounding and best feeling pick ever. And i've been looking!

Reviving an old thread... I just ordered a few V-Picks (Tradition Light Ghost Rim, Red Rocker, Vintage, Hotter Tamale, Eclipse and Big Fattie). I was wondering if you would share your experience with the Big Fattie and/or any other V-Picks that you may have tried. Thanks!

Ive been using a big Fattie.

I dont like picks, especially big picks. Something about the Big Fattie kicks ass. It sounds super meaty and is somehow comfortable. Curious to see how you like it.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I am chomping at the bit to try these picks! Hopefully they'll arrive by the end of the week.
