I've never heard of these, but glow in the dark plectrums is a great, great idea.

shortscale yellow n greens. I still have a nice pile of unused ones. I'm trying to use the same 5 or so plectrums and keep my stash for as long as possible :D

dava control, and mainly because the texturing keeps them from flying out of my fingers.

yeah it's nice, easy to find etc but i noticed not all the nylons do this, obviously the grey and black ones don't but even the white ones not all of them glow, i bought a big pack once when i was still playing bass in a band, all 1.14 glow in the dark, but then at a guitarshop i got couple other white nylons and they didn't glow...

I recently tried out some wooden Sarod picks, I really liked them but they were just a little too big. Oh, and pretty expensive too.

Has anyone tried bone picks. Some folks swear by them, but I've never seen one in person.

I usually fingerpick, but have just started using a brass(?) metal pick. I bought them in a pack that came with a mix of metal picks, but the stainless steel ones make horrible clicky noises if they touch the pickups.

Dunlop green Shark Fins. No other reason that when I started playing it was what a mate gave me. Kind of stuck with them out of habit.

Little red, sharp dunlop jazz III's. I'm probably the most orthodox player on this board. Just finished learning that pesky journey solo. Yesterday i was totally rockin out white lion and quiet riot solos.

Pretty dull, but I use Orange Dunlop Tortex, .60mm I believe. If I'm playing bass, I'll go for the Blue or Purple tortex, whichever I find first.

I would've got in on the Shortscale Tortexs if I'd been posting at the time, but alas, I'm stuck with my plain old turtle-y ones.
