I use 1mm GrippX-XB delrin picks from Intunegp.com for electric guitar and bass (!!!), yes i know i'm very odd using so thin picks for bass but i like the sound it gives and also how i feel the strings better through the pick (of course i play fingerstyle bass alot aswell). Same thing goes for electric really, i dont like thicker than 1mm because it makes me feel disconnected from the strings when i hit them. For acoustic i use .73 mm, same type of pick.

This may be interesting (or dumb on my part), but I've never bought a pick - ever. I'm from the old school when guitar shops had bowls of free picks sitting on the counter! When I got back into playing guitar seriously about 2 1/2 years ago, I was amazed that free picks were no longer the norm!
I've just always used "mediums" by whoever makes 'em. When I buy a guitar or a piece of gear locally, I'm always offered a few free picks, and asked what thickness. Mediums, says I, and I get 4 or 5 given to me.
I have tried thins - don't like 'em. Thicks either.
That's my story, but then again I'm an old fart, and paying for picks seems outrageous to me!
