I bought some of those at my local music store about a year and a half ago. I never could get to liking the tone. I hope you like them more than I do.

It’s like a rosin, you put it on your fingertips and the pick sort of “sticks” to your finger.

So hypothetical you can glue a pick or drumstick on each of your finger. Brilliant!

I’m not liking them. I thought it would give me a muddy sound but it’s so damn stiff it’s like picking with a piece of steel.

Got these delivered today. I’m already loving the Stubby 2.0 but thought I’d give the thinner 1.0 a go. I’ll soon find out if I like them @T_dub Toby.

They look cool.
I would love to get some orange ones, but Orange for some companies, or at least Dunlop = 1.5mm (.06"). Those are pretty good, but I think I like the thinner ones. I am not 100% sure, but I used to play guitar with thinner picks, and the 1.5mm and higher FEEL too thick to me. I am sure I could get used to it, but with an abundance of thicknesses to choose from, why not just get ones that feel right.
Of course, it might be a good idea to practice with several sizes. What happens if you are playing a gig, and you lose your last pick, but the guitar player has about 10 on his mic stand. It would be smart, I would think, to be able to go grab one and still be able to continue to play your music without too much difficulty.

I would grab one in a heartbeat and make the best of it…

Exactly, which is why, I think it would be a good idea to practice with other sizes then your favorite size once in a while. Just like you are doing with getting other size picks to try them out.

Getting an assortment pack is definitely the way to go, find the one you like. For me that’s 0.88-1.2 in either Ultex or Tortex. 2.0 Tortex is way too thick for me - fun occasionally but not as a go-to.
Need to grab a bag of the Ultex sharps next I think.

you are talking in MM, right? So .035" to .047" roughly? That sounds about right for me.

Can’t wait to get mines! I’m putting my Stubby order in this week.
My Celluloid picks got destroyed in my bass picking. They look like dented dunce caps after about 20 good minutes of jamming.

Which Gauge are you getting?
I’ve been using the Stubby 2.0 and like them. However, due to the evil influencer @T_dub 
, I ordered and received my 6 pack of Stubby 1.0 yesterday so I could try them out.
I played them a bit this morning and really like them. Now, I must go back and forth for awhile to determine which gauge will be my go to.
I recommend you order a 6 pack of each of the Stubby 1.0 and 2.0 to try them out. They also have a 3.0 but that seems REALLY thick to me.
So this begs the question that I will toss to the pick experts @terb and @howard… is there a scientific explanation as to why one thickness is better than the other? Why one gauge is better for guitar while another is better for bass? Curious minds want to know.

That’s probably going to be exactly what I do actually because I don’t know yet.

Isn’t it all about personal preference? Thicker picks will have a slightly different tone than a thinner pick. You should be able to hear or feel the difference between a thin and thick pick. I prefer 0.88-1.0 picks for bass.

I didn’t really detect a difference in tone when I did my warm up licks this morning using both 1.0 and 2.0. It seems to me the thinner one was easier to jump strings with than the thicker one, but that may have been influenced by additional sips of coffee.
