I like the big stubby too. Good choice. It took me a long time to become brave (smart) enough to try a pick that thick and now I love it.
I was at the music store today picking up some strings for one of my students guitars and I decided to experiment with some new picks.
One of the ones I decided to try out was a Dunlop Big stubby http://www.jimdunlop.com/index.php?p...products/picks
Being 2 mm in thickness is a pretty big jump from the green ones I use but after playing with it for a little bit I actually came to liking it. It was pretty easy to play once you got used to it and it gave the guitar a bit bigger sound and stuff. They're a bit pricy going for about 65 cents but I might pick up some more.
Worth trying out

Ha! Tele-ish now inbound.
I have a lot of Big Stubby's in various thickness and they are my favorites.

i dunno.... they're a little too thick if you ask me.. not good for soloing or the like, more for just straight strumming. i still prefer a nice .88 though

I usually hear people say they like thinner for strumming and thicker for soloing or lead guitar. Really doesn't matter, its whatever works for the individual.Originally Posted by ragnarpk
Another one that I use off and on, Ice Pix

I use the bottom one "The Pick That Stix". Lately I've been using the .58 (a departure from the Stubby's that I use of 1.0 to 3.0). I also have them in .81 and 1.12. I tend not to lose them since I can stick them to the pick guard or back of the guitar head. Actually they can be stuck anywhere on the guitar and I tend not to lose them.

I've got a couple of sizes of Stubbys and I like them, but for some reason, no matter what pick I use, I always end up going back to fender mediums.
I love big stubbys, especially the 3.0 mm.
I can't say that I've given up on a flanger cause I've never liked the effect either. I also can't say the same about Tremolo. I hate them both equally. - Tone2TheBone 2009
I've used both the Big Stubbies and Fender Mediums a lot. However, I've been using the Dunlop Ultex for a few months now and really like them. I'm using the .73's and the 1.0's.
I read about them on some forum and they work well for me.

Been playing with it more and it's starting to be my pick of choice.
Though I really wanna try one of Vinnie's V -picks but sadly I can't order stuff online.
Hey Strum are those Ice pix sold at most music stores?
I love 'em.
2.0 purple for solo, red for strumming.
Even though they are thick, the cross section is like a "V" (vs "ll" ) and therefore the angle of attack rolls of the end better than thinner picks that have parallel sides. All personal preference, of course.
