I just got a glow in the dark screamer myself. Way cool.
Tada!

I have some screamers coming but not the glow in the dark. How are you liking the Screamer? Can you see and feel a major difference or is it slight?
I read so many good reviews, it was hard for me to pass it up.......splurge purchase.
Hmm. I've found v-picks to be too bright and plastic-y sounding (kind of a "plink" on the attack) and not very warm, particularly with acoustic guitar and warmer electric rhythm guitar. While the difference wasn't overly pronounced in this demo, I tended to hear the same thing.
I keep picking up my v-picks and trying them again, and I keep finding that they just don't sound good to me. Strange.
Anyway, thanks for the cool demo.

I love my Screamer. The only problem is that on the rare occasion that I drop it, the clear ones are tough to find on the floor. Next time I order I think I'm going ruby red.Originally Posted by Beerman

Keep in mind that different models have different attacks. With the medium rounded I get a lot of plink too but once I start using the proper technique it mostly goes away. With the Screamer it's never been an issue. Same with the Switchblade.

Thanks! Perhaps I should play acoustic more? Now that I have a new, good acoustic (Norman).Originally Posted by tjcurtin1

I was of the same mind for quite a while but have come to prefer the V-Picks over any others. Especially the "Snake" (4.1mm). It's really fast and the "plink" is not so plinky. I did recently "pick" up a variety of picks at NAMM. I am getting into a very nice, polished rosewood pick. Really warm sounding. Also a couple of bone and horn picks I found play real fast, are very comfortable and easy to hold onto.Originally Posted by Eric
I do experiment quite a bit with picks, even making some of my own, but so far I like V-picks best.
