Free plectrum with BKP's ??!!
« on: August 08, 2005, 08:11:57 PM »
Hi guys,
Just wondering what gauge plectrum is free with the Bare Knuckle pickups ? I picked my pups up on Saturday and started to use the free pick as I'd mislaid mine and I really like it. I usually use Dunlop 2.00 mm (roof slates) but I liked the feel of this pick and if it wasn't BKP's thickest I may order some to try.

Cheers,

Ainsley

Yes very nice for a thin one indeed.
I would have liked to have tried one a tad thicker as it's quite a jump from a 2.00mm which I love as you can really dig in.

They're extra heavy 1.21mm celluloid picks that we have made for us by D'andrea.Funnily enough I find that thicker picks lose the edge of the note and the overall attack loses definition.The XH is as thick as they go though with the custom picks.

That's just what I'm finding Tim especially with the Les Paul, not too noticable with the PRSi.I've used the 2.00mm for years and everyone takes the piss out of me but yours is the best thinner pick I've played in years, you sure know what us lot need mate.
Finally got in touch with my tech today so the pickups are getting fitted on Friday, then I just have to wait for the refret. Can't wait as I've got a gig in a couple of weeks and want to take it out for a spin  :D

tortex jazz 3? Is this some new pick, I use a black jazz 3 pick and Its really good for playing lead but kinda cr@p for strumming. I find because the pick is so small I keep touching the strings when i pick. Ah well bugger guess I need more praccy.

The yellow tortex ones, and metal ones occasionally are the ones I use, but my BKP one did it's fair share that's for sure. 8)
