Fender California Clears, Heavy.  Or something similar, like Dunlop Gels.  I don't like nylon picks, or anything with a very sharp point.

For some reason transparent picks sound better to me than solid-colour ones.  My imagination, I'm sure.

I've been using stubby 3mm lately.

I also like jazz III and tortex jazz 1.14s.

Small picks with a sharp point are much more accurate and controlled, I think. (But you can still beat the cr@p out of strings if you want  :twisted: ).

although i don't use picks (i'm a bassist, so its fingerstyle for me!) the guitarists in my band use snarling dog brain picks (you get a few in a lil box)

they have MEGA grip! :twisted:

yeah the only thing i don't like about the Dunlop jazz picks is that they do get quite slippery, and they're already small enough to begin with...

I find the Jazz ultex much easier to hang onto, much better than the other Jazz III's.

i was thinking of maybe super-gluing a little piece of fabric or something to my pick to make it less slippery. I like the pick, just too slippery. what could i use?

Could heat up a knife and burn an X on each side. It's the best I can come up with right now  :?
