Hey guys
I've been using the Dunlop Primetones, beautiful picks. It's about time to get some new ones now and feel like exploring a little bit, what picks do you guys use?
Thanks

Plain old Fender teardrop heavy and regular mediums.

I have been lucky with finding and keeping picks...have tried many types..plastic..bone..etc..
for the past 10 yrs or so I have been using a stone pick...a tad smaller than a medium..with a rounded tip (fits inside my thumb pad !)..cost $18.00..still have it..now I have turned the house (and car) upside down several times when I think I have "lost" it..only to find it in the pocket of my jeans in the laundry bin..
there is no give with stone..and they "wear" very slowly..(I have worn down "bone" picks)..
downside..a tad bit of string noise..but easy to correct..

D'Andrea Pro Plec Small Round. Big, fat, warm tone.

I use Primetone.

I like Dunlop jazz sized Ultex and Tortex as well as the small D'Andrea Plec picks. The D'Andreas are much rounder/mellower sounding. The Dunlops have more zing.

I use Stiffo Dunlop Jazz III XLs.

Bluechip

Use to use Dunlop Jazz II and III but switched about 4 years ago to Carol Kaye's brand. Just get such a mellow es175 tone with them without having to alter amp settings.

I haven't tried Wegen picks, but my bluechip pick is still the best i have ever tried. It's really expensive, but i play it already 3/4 year everyday and there is no scratch or something like the first day

Else, I find both Wegen and Bluechip to last forever. Those Jazz III's got scratchy on me in a matter of days
