If a bass-picker could, would and should pick a pick, which pick would a bass-picker then pick?

I decided to order a pack of 3 acrylic Gravity Classic .60mm picks:

 

And found that one of the round corners, which are a bit stiffer than the tip, is absolutely perfect for me.

 

The tip got just about same amount of flexibility as the Dunlop Tortex .60mm pick, but being a different material it does feel somewhat different, and it produces less scratching and scraping noises too, as if it glides easier off the strings.

 

Sounds less like plastic too.

 

And they have a really nice grip, while still easy to swap around between corners and tips, in a controlled manner.

 

Really effective grip, while not sticking to you fingers, and still being easy to manipulate and move around, if you wish/need to.

 

I think they are worth the extra price.

 

The .77mm of the same brand and model of pick is nice too, but I prefer the .60mm one, as I like my pick to be a bit flexible.

 

I switched to the .77mm Gravity acrylic pick, mostly using one of the round corners.

 

Gives a fuller tone, while still being somewhat snappy.
