Shockwave Posted January 4, 2012 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
KingBollock Posted January 4, 2012 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 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
andydye Posted January 5, 2012 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
LiamPodmore Posted January 5, 2012 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. Liam Quote
bertbass Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 And I thought that 60p for a pick was expensive! Quote

[/quote] From the 'idiots in music shops' thread: Customer: How much are the plectrums? Shopkeeper: 50p each, or 3 for a quid, Sir. Customer: I'll take two. Quote
bertbass Posted January 5, 2012 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! Quote
