strings

How could you use heavy picks?!?! They're just so cumbersome, and u dont get such a well defined sound as u get with the hard thinner ones. I use 0.6mm and they're great for pretty much everything.

As for strings I've been using d'addario light top heavy bottoms, cos some dude at the music store suggested that config, but I think i'll just go back to the standard ones cos they feel a bit nicer.
 
I use .6's (well .63's specifically) as well, basically because I have a poor picking technique (I'll admit it, I can't pick for shit). I have a great time with a particular 0.4mm pick I have.

That being said, the best tone I get is from a 1.3mm sharp tipped pick, the difference is pretty big.
 
Yeah as long as its got the sharp tip u get a great sound. The .6 that i have is pretty solid too with the way i play so for me there isnt much of a difference between that and 1.3mm. As long as its not an acoustic pick, cos those things fuck me over real bad. They're just sooooo slow!!
 
I use D'Andrea 1.21 mm Delrins. Best pick I've found.

Heavier gauge doesn't snag on the strings as much as the lighter picks do, in my experience. The heavier gauge makes the pick slide across the strings easier and allows you (me, anyway) to pick faster.

I just find heavier picks to be more comfortable. Thin picks always feel so flimsy and delicate.

Yeah I guess it comes down to what you want..... faster picking or more defined sound :).

I perfer Ernier Ball over D'addario strings

I thought Big Stubbies are 3.0. And you said you use 2.0.

And my bandmates have officially adopted a new name for the 2.0 gator grips, and that's the Bergsohn Pick. And that's because I always give them out to everyone, and then they ALWAYS go out and buy several packs, because they're that awesome.:kickass:Although, we're still waiting on the version that has my face on it instead of an alligator. :D
