I personally recommend Jim Dunlop Gel's Medium's (the purple one) They last forever with some abuse.

Cheers!

yeah, i use the Jim Dunlop "Big Stubby" 3.0 mm pick, it may be big, but it has little wear on it and ive been using it for over a year. It sounds awesome too, it may make the pick sound a little more obvious, but thats ok with me

amen to that, fender picks don't last more than five minutes with me. just recently i stole one from my guitar class at school, and when i pulled it out of my pocket when i got home the tip was already broken off. pieces of shit i tell you. i use dunlop tortex .5 mm (the reds) or the oranges if its all i can find.

I always break fender picks after a couple of days max. Thats why I switched to nylon. Cuz they dont break.

i think its retarded to use a pick for bass
well, sometimes it sounds better, but i know people who use them on every song, im just lik: 'NO!'

I agree - I almost always fingerpick on bass

DMBFreak84 · Post by **DMBFreak84** » Sat Feb 01, 2003 3:19 pm

i guess i like the "bass" picks cause i played bass for quite a few years, my fingers are used to it
