each time there is a picks thread i jsut post this
dunlop nylon 1. 14 glow in the dark. so you can find picks on the stage in the dark. and 1.14mm because i like thick picks, use them on both guitar and bass.
got a few more unopened bigass packs of them so i'll probably never need to buy picks again lol

Dunlop tortex blues for light strumming on guitar, purples for hot leads. I think they're 1.75 and 2mm respectively, not sure. I might vary my string guages from really low to really high here and there, but I've pretty much never been able to change picks. It has to be heavy. I've also developed a thing for the sort of triangle dunlops, too, because if you wear one end down, you have two more! Also, there's more to grip.

I used to use pretty much only Dunlop Big Stubby 2.0s and a 1mm dunlop heavy pick... lately I've been using the picks that I got as a bonus in my juststring.com order.

Nah man. Its cool. I don't play guitar too much at the moment. I only just got a new fuse for my amp which has taken me about 3 months.
