I like Dunlop Maxgrip .88. I need the nubs to keep the pick firm in my hold.

If it says 88mm tortex or Ernie Ball Everlast, I use it. For bass, I play with fingers, unless I'm really digging into some sounds with drive.

Mine too! Bought at Dirt Cheep Music on hwy 41 in Kennesaw in 8th grade.


Mine was given to me from my parents for Christmas in 7th grade. They got it at Jennings Music in Marietta. That would’ve been 1994.

I gave it to a girlfriend while at UGA. I had an SG standard at that point (that i blew a whole summers worth of savings from working at Petsmart in Marietta….). I still have the SG, its a 1998!

After I bought a nice dreadought I bought an expensive pick to play it just because. $30 for one lol.


Blue Chip picks are kind of the shite for acoustic. I’m assuming that’s what you are talking about. And once you spend that on one you won’t lose it. At least i haven’t, where i lost 3 cheap ones per day.

I still use lighter picks for strumming stuff though (usually the yellow tortes 0.73).

Pickboy jazz. A little bigger than a jazz iii and you can get them perforated. Never looked back

For Acoustic I have a few Blue Chips some rounded, pointed and 35mm up to 50mm. For electric any generic medium or heavy pick.
