Jim Dunlop 475P3.0 Big Stubby Player Pack (Pack of 6)

For years my favorite picks have been a long-discontinued Dunlop tortoise-shell plastic model with more rounded shoulders than the oh-so-common Fender 351 shape that dominates selections in music stores and online. I find the slightly smaller shape more comfortable in my hand; I don't need that extra little bit of triangular real estate up top. Seeking alternatives, I tried the 1.4mm Jazz III picks, but that small size made me self-conscious about the grip, and they didn't seem to bring out as much volume as bigger picks. The shape of the Dunlop Flows looked promising, but I didn't care for the feel of the raised logo and the sound wasn't as bright as what I was used to (more on that coming up). I've also tried some of the exotic picks with thumb dimples, which are interesting, but those too are larger than I prefer, and the grooves on the back side make them feel asymmetric and awkward if held backwards, which has happened when switching between using my thumb and the pick. I finally came across Dunlop Big Stubby picks after searching high and low here on Amazon, first trying the 1mm thickness. The shape and size was fine, almost exactly like my old picks, with a bit more aggressive tip, but this thickness was much more flexible, more like medium than heavy, and I'm guessing my old picks are around 1.4mm like the Jazz III. I finally decided to give these 2mm picks a shot, though my lack of enthusiasm with so many previous picks had my expectations low. Still, the idea of matching dimpled sides seemed ergonomically logical and these were the first I'd seen with that design. Even as I placed my order, I tried to find reasons not to like these. Perhaps it was the translucent lavender color, seemingly designed to blend invisibly into any background on which they're laid. Whatever .... as soon as I put these to the test, playing hard for over an hour, I knew my search might have finally ended. Those matching dimples on either side let this pick feel like one that's thinner; while staying extremely secure, even held loosely, while the heavier beveled rim keeps it rigid. The longer I played, the more invisible the pick felt in my hand, like it really belonged there. OK, so why "almost perfect"? Compared to my old Dunlops, this particular plastic, like the Flows, has a slightly softer attack, which means the harmonics don't ring out quite as brightly, especially noticeable on pinch harmonics. It's a subtle difference and one I can live with, a small trade-off for something that finally feels natural in my hand.

These picks are suitable for my guitar playing and the quality is great and they last long being USA made. Great value six pack

I'm beginning to play bass and so I bought a bunch of different picks to test out what I like and I keep coming back to these! I find the control great and even for long playing times they don't slide out of my fingers or anything. Would recommend to anyone!

Let me preface this with the fact that I am not a good guitar player. I am a quite mediocre beginner that knows only the basics, but I have tried a number of picks, trying to squeeze out as much as I can from them to help me along with my personal skills. These picks seem to work with that. I went with the 1.00mm as I tend to use medium picks and didn't want to go too thick. But it's a weird feature of the Big Stubby 1mm in that the body is 1mm but the tapered bit is thinner than my medium picks. So I don't get that flex that thinner picks get, but I get really precise tip control and something just a bit more substantial to hold onto. They're also a nice, bright, candy apple red color and have a sort of "glassy" feel. If I were a good player I might be able to tell you with more confidence why this pick is better than some other pick. But I'm not and it's personal preference anyway. But at the price picks go for and the somewhat unique features herein, I'd say it's worth a try.
