dannybuoy Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I bought some strings from Strings Direct recently and whilst I was on there thought I'd see what picks they sold when I stumbled across these: http://www.stringsdirect.co.uk/p/914692/jumping-cow-leather-ukulele-plectrum-black/ It's like a big stubby triangle but made out of thick stiff belt leather. The top side is harder and shinier and the underside much softer, giving you two ways to use it. Sounds good on the P-Bass with flats. If you like playing with picks but don't like the harsh attack they give you, give one of these a try for only £2.99! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul S Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Being a cheapskate I made one from the end of an old leather belt - surprisingly little difference to the one in that pic, it would seem! It does dull down the attack considerably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are lush! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
