Shockwave Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Hey guys. I have started to enjoy playing with a plectrum recently, though i dont know much about them. I love the thickness of Stubby's. But they are way too small in diameter! Anything of a similar thickness which is just that little bit bigger? Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 How about a triangle Stubby? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingBollock Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I take it you're using the normal Stubby and not the Big Stubby. I use those, they're great.

bertbass Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I always use Jim Dunlop 1mm nylon picks, the black ones. Try a few different picks though as the difference in sound from different manufacturers / materials is quite astonishing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andydye Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 [indent=1]I got some 'gravity picks' from the USA as organised by evilundead, I think they're [url="http://www.gravitypicks.com/product/classic-standard"]http://www.gravitypicks.com/product/classic-standard[/url] but they feel amazing and sound superb when compared to my previous Jim Dunlop Tortex habits...[/indent] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamPodmore Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I had some massive triangular ones once, i can't remember what they were called though. I actually fashioned my own out of an old storage box when i was about 14 (Very safely with bare hands and a belt sander....) which would've fit what you wanted by the sounds of things.

bertbass Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 And I thought that 60p for a pick was expensive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bertbass Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 If they were the picks for me, I have to admit that I'd pay that as well. Our guitarist uses the plastic tags that come with heavy duty work gloves as picks. he says that they are perfect. I think he's just a tight git!
