Well, his picks are pretty light considering he plays bass, but I'd still say they're bass picks.

And actually, guitar picks don't take much effort at all. They're pretty simple. I did one in about 10 mins while at the same time getting ready for Homecoming (which my friends convinced me to go to). (It was a Fender medium, but I still did it while doing other things at the time, so that was pretty good considering that Mike's pick took me over an hour with complete concentration eek
').


No, bass picks are made of hard plastic and are usualy over 1mm thick. I have a bunch 3nodding


Hmm, now that I look at it, you're right. ^_^ I was just using a 1mm dunlop tortex the other day because another guitarist in my school's jazz band likes heavy picks, and this doesn't really compare to that. And that's not even hard plastic. sweatdrop (That same guitarist has a hard plastic one that's about 1.2mm I think that he nicknamed "Stubby").

Right now I'm really using my fingers for bass, but guitar picks seem to work fine. And Mike isn't the only player who uses 'em (Nathan East also uses a pick about the same gague). I should pick up a bass pick and try it out though.

Hehe the picks are called "Stubby," it's printed on the picks themselves. And some bassists just hapen to like using lighter picks. I myself like using 1mm picks. Anything thinner bothers me 3nodding

Muahahaha. I have three picks of Billie's, six from Mike...but I don't have a drumstick from Tre. cry
i am green with envy- where do you get these??? i guess ebay, huh? okay i want Billie Joe's pick to play my guitar and then string on a necklace or something....as you can tell i really like Billie Joe....
Yeah, I strung Mike's pic on my necklace (replacing my coincidentally green pick) and I wear it every day. (Wearing it now) ^_^ Bass picks are a b***h to drill a hole through with nothing but a screwdriver and your own two hands though. gonk


Mike doesn't use bass picks. His are pretty damn light. But any type of pick would be a b***h to drill through with a screwdriver, I guess sweatdrop

I put a whole in a pick with a nail. It was easy.
