Darn picks are so overpriced however , it’s one of the only hard picks I like.
They are custom made and hand finished edge. I think the edge is why I like them.
I ordered only 2 , I have the original larger size so I ordered smaller ones, $16 for 2 pics! $59 for this set of best sellers. I bought the smaller 003

Before the Gravity stuff, it was the V-Picks for me. I’m stuck on the Gravity Classic Mini 1.5mm for a long time now. If I’m in a situation where I have to borrow a pick, and it’s less than 1mm thick, I’m pretty lost!

Easy to find if you ever drop these, ha ha!

The Gravity pick has no equal so far.
I have had one for a while, it just recently resurfaced.
I had been using flimsy Dunlop .60 mm nylons forever but I got back to the Gravity pick and it’s home for me now.
 
I'm still generally using a .73mm Dunlop standard, cheap and ubiquitous. I do use other picks for stuff, though; on bass I use a thicker 1mm of varying material for the attack I want (when using a pick, of course). For strumming acoustic rhythm I'll sometimes go for a .60mm light pick. Recently I've been getting fond of Fender mediums on guitar a bit, but the Dunlops aren't so smooth. I also have a metal pick for the odd hour of Brian May before changing strings (yes, it slays them). Tried some Dunlop Ultra Grip, but they feel strange to me. What I have done in the past is take a bradawl and whack four holes through a Dunlop for more grip, long before Ultra Grip (or before I was aware of them, at least).

I use the same medium Fender on everything. Acoustic. Electric. Only difference would be 12 string acoustic where I use what I’m assuming would be a light. Nice a flimsy. Don’t use a pick on bass. I have tried and frankly, just doesn’t feel right.

I understand that. Personally, I don't really have a preference - just whatever suits the piece.

I also used a super ultra light thingy on the mandolin but ended up with my regular .73 as the weapon of choice. There is something to be said for speed when using a harder pick, though.

My youngest who started on bass and learned guitar later, started with a pick. Then kinda moved to fingers. To my knowledge, he doesn’t use a pick at all now on bass.
