Nothing works. best just remove the whole finish and start again.
Well, I had been considering using a controlled blast of micro-fine shrapnel, but you've already saved me countless hours with your finishing advice, so I'll just go with what you said

or you could check out http://frets.com or go to the real dark side of the gear internet https://www.mimf.com

I've tried stone picks though & haven't liked 'em.

Hmm Yeah I have an agate pick too and feel the same.. definitely have a different sound than even glass though.. maybe I'll get a jade one next time I have to track something on a acoustic...

Chank, should I put this in the Blues thread? or the Purples thread? or the Teals thread?

I'm starting to get confused about colors.

Real talk, Chank, would a DBA Evil Filter sound alright into an Evil Robot amp?

Yes, most definitely!

Hey Chank what didn't you like about stone picks? I have been considering getting one and a friend loves his, but interested in hearing a negative opinion too

Chankgeez · Post by **Chankgeez** » Tue Sep 08, 2020 9:08 am

I don't like the attack. Too clicky. The noise of the pick hittin' the string is too much for me.

Yeah, other people seem to love 'em.

To follow up on that: how does one reduce the pick noise on strings? Sometimes I think I’m only hearing it acoustically but it bothers me, too.

Chankgeez · Post by **Chankgeez** » Tue Sep 08, 2020 9:19 am

I like flatwound strings to slightly reduce noise on the wound strings.

Using a pick made of a softer material, I've found, is also helpful. I like wooden picks.

Dandolin · Post by **Dandolin** » Tue Sep 08, 2020 11:56 am

I like the wooden picks too, though I tend to shred the hell out'of'em? Any particular ones you like for tone/durability? I'm trying some bamboo picks right now - other than the shape being too pointy (which can be rectified), I like'em....

Chankgeez · Post by **Chankgeez** » Tue Sep 08, 2020 1:03 pm

I've mainly used ebony & rosewood. The ebony's a bit more durable.

Have you tried felt picks? I know the few jazz bassists who play with a pick extensively like them

Chankgeez · Post by **Chankgeez** » Tue Sep 08, 2020 2:13 pm

Yep, once. I thought the felt was gonna be really soft. It wasn't.

It was treated with something to make it really stiff. Way too stiff for me.

It wore much too quickly as well. Like felt shredding off the pick. Another material not for me.
