Greggo Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 I've mentioned before my love of wedgie plectrums, but one thing that bothers me is that, because they are rubber, they degrade quickly. I use flatwounds on now and they don't wear away as fast, but still shed. Does anyone know if putting anything on the plectrums could reduce this? I'm thinking maybe a bit of clear nail varnish on the tips or would this just reintroduce the 'click' that the rubber inherently eliminates? Quote
EssentialTension Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Quick degradation is probably the price you pay for getting that particular feel and sound. Quote

[/quote] Yeah I'd say it is. I don't use them all the time as I only have a few, but when I use them I love the feel and tone, but I have to use sparingly. They are superb for recording though, very consistent tone and saves having to use any form of compression. Quote
Thunderbird Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Try a nice thick leather plectrum they are hard wearing and don't sound a million miles away from a wedgie Quote
