Re: Fender Tru-Shell picks
Those Tru Shells are definitely a great low-cost alternative to Red Bears. I have several of both the Fender and Red Bears that I’ve shaped and beveled in subtlety different ways, all with good musical effect. Another one to throw in the mix (which I just discovered from another pick thread on the cafe) is this D’Andrea Radex. I just got a 6-pack of ‘em and that’s what I am going to be playing for the foreseeable future. Similar feel to Ultex 1.14s, but the slightly thicker gauge and round bevel (as manufactured) give a mellower tone and nearly non-existent pick noise without much sacrifice in volume. These are really nice. And very inexpensive to boot!
