I use MOSHAY picks exclusively...they are white nylon with
a hole drilled in them...they are hard to drop, even during
my lame attempts at "The Wedge". MOSHAY's come in a
variety of thicknesses and sizes...I use the big
ones...thickest ones for bass, next one down for lead, and
the softer ones for chord action.
If you can find them, I highly reccomend MOSHAY.
