.38mm plectrums..good enough for napalm death...

[halibuttsharon]

i know this sounds weird but i saw napalm death back in 1990 and managed to get a pick from jesse p. it was a .38mm jim dunlop nylon. anyone else got some that doesnt make sense stories.

Huh?

[FIXXXER]

thin plecs sound so much better!
yeah, people always discuss about
different guitars pickups etc. bu i never
see discussions about plecs. i have about 100
different picks here and every of them makes
the guitar sound different!

oh and yeah, yesterday i ate too much chilli and now i'm scared to take a dump...

I'll usually prefer thicker pics. .80 atleast and more preferable around 1mm

 

[merritt stone]

2mm Dunlop Jazztones FTW!

 

[Trevoire520]

2mm picks here. If it bends when you hit the strings then it's too bloody thin!

I Just Switched to These from Dunlop:

Steve Clayton Heavy Celluloid.

Amazing what an endorsement will do

Before this I was using Green Tortex .88's for 15+ years

Dunlop Pitch Black Jazz and the Jazz Max-Grip. Thin picks have a thin sound.

 

[greyskull]

EVH uses INSANELY thin picks

 

[Fragle]

i just don't understand how anyone can play with picks thinner than let's say .88mm.
i used to use dunlop 2mm picks (and still love them for shreddy stuff), but nowadays it's either 1,5mm or 1mm dunlop tortex sharp picks....can sound a bit scratchy for leads, but the rhythms just sound massive. so much attack, great definition.

but then again, a friend of mine plays the 0.73mm nylon stuff...and i just don't get how he manages to get those schaffer-esque "triplets" to sound tight. the pick has barely any resistance...not suited to my style at all i guess XD

Ol' Yeller...

Been using them for over a decade

Word. Most picks under 2mm blend when I play. I only use 1mm and fewer (0.70 perhaps) when I clean clean chords, arpeggios or for acoustic guitars

I love the rebound of the 1.14 Ultex Sharp. Its actually a little too sharp to begin with, but a few mins of mindless shred makes it perfect.

 

[Scott Horner]

I'm most comfortable with the orange .60mm Dunlop tortex. No thinner, no thicker. I have no problem with speed or precision with those picks.

got this as a present last month. seems the material adds some kind of scratch which sounds very cool for all kinds of leads.

 

[Erratic]

Yeah, I know I'm a masochist

 

[Maybelater]

1.5 mm Dunlop Gator Grip's here.
2 mm when I play Bass.

 

[DullElysium]

This is how I roll and have been rolling for years. .38mm seem just too thin to me
