Ontopic String's and Adi's gear & pedal thread

[Strings]

been practising pick technique
any tips?

Hold it between your fingers.
Go up and down.

 

[adi]

I must admit, I’m the devil.

We text each other even though we are in the same house and I texted him a pic. A week later he orders one.

I texted a pic of a bass though.

[adi]

Yes.

Get yourself a Vivant Ambit. I love mine!

That bass, different pic.

Alternate picking, Adi.
Learn to control your speed and aggression. You don't need a hard attack.
Let the amp do the work. Then dig in when you want loud and aggressive.

That can’t be stressed enough. Use the amp!

some have 3 unfortunately not in prong form

I guess when you order a guitar/bass from Sweetwater, they send an email with a zip file of all the pics they took of the instrument, including the ones not published online.

That’s as enticing as the Bit O Honeys.

Chris Squire was a master with a pick.
Listen to what he could do. That is total control of all aspects of using a pick.

I was just going to say the exact same thing only substitute Bobby Vega for CS.

 

[Immigrant]

The only thing I don’t like that Bobby Vega does with a pick is that trick with his mouth. Stop that.

Yeah, Bobby V is a master too.
