Plectrums

Just wondered what plectrums all you guys are using I have used the 0.73 Dunlop Tortex picks and I really like them but I have just changed to the Dunlop Maxi-grip ones in 0.73 but they feel much thinner than the Tortex ones they are still nice so I am thinking next time I may order them in the 0.75 gauge unless you guys have any other recommendations

Herco Flex Gold 50. Used 'em for decades.
May be too thin for you, but they don't wear down, they're grippy and they last forever.


[/quote] Cool cheers Mark maybe a touch thin for me but I am gonna google to see if they do other sizes :)

Dunlop 1.14mm in purple.

Yep, but I use the tortex version, essentially 3 picks in one due to being triangular. They`re not quite as big as the pic makes out.

Do you find the big stubby gives a duller sound that is a little close to finger style?

No, not really. I'd call it crisper not duller.

I rarely play with a pick but if I do it's usually because I want a faster attack and the harder the pick the more that happens. It also means I'm able to play faster if I need to, especially close to the bridge.

However, I seem to recall that the last time I mentioned the idea that harder pick meant faster playing, not everyone agreed with me.

I'm using the heavier Flex 75s and have done since the late 70s. I'm surprised that you don't get any wear, I shred mine to bits and after a month they normally get binned as the point has completely worn away. As a result I buy then 100 at a time. On my 5th set of a 100 at the moment.
