Well sometime later since I posted this I’m now 100% playing with a pick and still prefer the triangle shape pick and tend to use the Dunlop “ Flex” series in 1.0mm
The magic for me playing with a pick = good amp and compressor, cab with 12” speakers, PBass and mids slightly scooped in EQ
The Flex series has a warmer tone compared to Ultex or Tortex pics but not as soft as nylon
