bowser Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 on the topic of picks, i prefer the dunlop big stubby 2mm. they have little indentations for your fingers and the end is kind of tapered, so it glides real easily and doesn't get caught up a lot.

Devon Headen Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 I have the same problem when I play at high distortion. Bleed off as much of the highs as you can with the tone pot (if you don't have one it'll definitely help). If you're still having problems changing the cap with help too. I'm gonna try lowering the pups and see if that helps mine even more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon Headen Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 Oh yeah, I forgot to say. I use gorilla snot, and it really helps picks to stay in your hand, but forget fingerpicking for the rest of the show, because of the gunk on your hands. Also, your have to be sure the pick doesn't turn, and be conservative with the gorilla snot, or the pick sticks to the strings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imikeyi Posted December 12, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2003 Also, the value of the post can effect tone. A 250K pot will give a warmer tone than a 500K. You could try this. I have heard this. I recently installed a new 500K pot.. maybe I should try a 250K one? The thing is, what else will the 250K pot do to the tone.. will it result in less strong harmonics etc? on the topic of picks, i prefer the dunlop big stubby 2mm. they have little indentations for your fingers and the end is kind of tapered, so it glides real easily and doesn't get caught up a lot. I have some of these, and agree it makes picking a lot easier, but in the long run it made me a little sloppy when i went back to other picks!!
