    In my ignorance, I didn't realize a pick could make that much difference in sound. I had always used a Fender medium but last week picked up, by chance, a standard Dunlop nylon .80, just because of the texture and my tendency to drop the ones I had, and was quite shocked by the volume. After reading this I think I'll try some Big Stubbies and see where that goes.
    Thanks guys!

    I like the stubby's, but I also have been buying different thicknesses of Ice Pix Stix. They have a micro suction pad that allows you to stick them to your guitar when not in use, which is great if you want different thicknesses handy. However, the suction pad makes the pick thicker at the holding section and eliminates the movement of the pick or dropping of the pick.

    I will warn you that if you think sticking them on your guitar will prevent you from misplacing them, it won't, I still lose picks.

    They are the ones on the left.

    I'd be worried that if I lost one of those picks, the guitar would go with it


    seriously, though, that's just pretty damn neat.

    what's nice about it is it sticks by suction, so there is no residue on the guitar from an adhesive. When they get dirty, just wash them off with water. A good selection of thickness also.
