Dunlop Gator Grip Picks Sample Variety Mix Pack (2 of each gauge) 12/Player's Pack

Bought it for the .96 pick for my bass guitar but I'll end up using them all.

First of all, straight out of the package, these felt so good and high-quality in my hands. The varying thicknesses are perfectly spaced- none of them are too similar and just different enough that each produces a different sound. The slightly textured surface makes it so much easier to keep a hold of, no squeaking against the strings... this ended up being my third time buying new picks, cause the other ones just weren't cutting it for me. I wish I'd bought these first. Definitely buy!

I use this series and brand over any other because of their lack of a "planky" plastic sound. These feel and play smoother, to me, and of course you'd need to try them yourself depending on your playing style and preference. I've been using Gator picks for decade now and really like them. I play a lot of bassy and hard driving acoustic guitar on all sizes of acoustic and the thicker gauge is a lot of fun and very helpful for that. I purchased as mixed gauge pack and found that the thinner ones are really fine for creating a backing track with more of a featherlight kind of fullness is how I can come to explain it. I also use these on a resonator guitar and the thickest gauge available for Gator picks really carries a full force kind of playing. These picks last a very, very long time for me also.

For years, I always used the same pick to play bass without any thought on how the size of the pick affects my tone. I came across a discussion that brought this up - different picks will give you a different tone. So I bought this variety pack to test it out, and it sure does! This is a great selection of picks from thin to super thick with each giving a slightly different tone to my bass. The Gator grip feels good, has some texture and much more grip than my Fender celluloid pick which is super slick. Give these a try, there is something in here that is right for your style.

Beautiful sound for these picks. buff finish helps grip a bit. Variety pack lets me decide which thickness I like.
