paul_5 Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 I found a link to a great 'Pic at the wrong gig' the other day, but I've lost the URL. Now I'm sad. Quote
shizznit Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 I'm waiting for Fender to launch the 'Roadworn' range of picks Quote
paul_5 Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 I tried the Behringer clone and there was virtually no difference in sound quality, the case felt really flimsy though. Quote
Ghost_Bass Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 Does anybody know if Roqsolid makes covers for pointy blue picks? Quote
RandomBass Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 In my quest to lighten the load, I'm looking forward to the release of the Barefaced Pick - light, loud and small. Quote

BluRay Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 Blue picks are crap. I tried one for half a second 10 years ago and didn't quite get on with it. Actually I didn't try it. But I thought about it. Actually it was my mate who thought about it. And they're completetely unreliable, although I might be thinking of a Fiat Uno. But that's enough reason to slate everything by the same manufacturer for ever after, right? I hate blue picks. Am I on the right forum? Quote
shizznit Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 If you don't get on with blue picks you can always try purple ones. In the middle of blue and red and is very versatile for all styles. Quote
Ghost_Bass Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 Hi, i drive a Focus estate, do you think that if i recline the back seat i could fit one of these blue picks inside? Quote

[/quote] They are not really suited to the Focus Estate. I would suggest upgrading to a Mondeo Estate or similar. Or go for a purple Pick as that fits the Focus perfectly Quote

longtimefred Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 I just got hold of an Orange Terror Pick. its almost as good as the original AD2mm pick but they have managed to get the same tone and grit but in a 1mm thick shell. I'm trying to decide what bass and amp to use with this, can any of you tell me what's best? Quote

ThomBassmonkey Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 Does anyone know what flightcase would fit my dunlop pick the best? I might be doing some gigs abroad in the summer and want to keep it safe. I've seen how the guys throw the baggage around at the airport. : Quote
shizznit Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 I just placed an order with Fodera for a custom blue pick. Expensive, but so excited! Should take about 12 months to be built. I'll post a build diary with photos! Quote
redstriper Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 Oh man, this site is deadly - I've managed 30 plus years without a plectrum and now I've got crazy gas for one. You swine. Quote
discreet Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 I ordered a custom pick from Jon Shuker eighteen months ago, and I'm still waiting! He sent me a pic of the plastic he was going to use, then nothing! He won't answer my emails or phone calls, either! What should I do? Quote
EssentialTension Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 [quote name='stevie' timestamp='1330466878' post='1558071'] Pre-CBS plectrums are definitely the ones to go for - if you can afford them. I believe they have extra sustain. You could buy a dozen for sixpence in the old days. But now you have to sell your granny. [/quote] I have an original pre-ErnieBall Music Man strap and it can't be beaten for comfort or tone. Make me an offer if you like. Quote
Prime_BASS Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 [quote name='skychaserhigh' timestamp='1330470479' post='1558152'] Pics please !!! We need pics of your ....er....picks...... [/quote] Pictures or it didn't happen. [quote name='Gareth Hughes' timestamp='1330466340' post='1558058'] But which plectrum is best for metal? [/quote] Metal ones. I brought a relic'd pick on eBay. I have to say I'm amazed how comfy it feels, and my tone is so warm now. Definitly good investment. Really improved my tone and playing. Quote
discreet Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 (edited) I'm truly shocked by some of the posts in this thread. All this silly talk of 'boutique' plectra, and not a word about pickguards! What on Earth is the point of having a high-end pick if you're going to use it with a bog-standard plastic pickguard? I thought it was common knowledge that for optimum tone and sustain, a platinum-plated titanium pickguard is the only way to go? Or am I wrong? Eh? Eh? Edited March 4, 2012 by discreet Quote
longtimefred Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 Funny you should mention this. I had my scratchplate impregnated with John Entwhistle's DNA and since then it truly has made me a better player and strangely want to buy bass guitars made out of many many bits of different basses.
