After completely poo-poo'ing this idea, I scraped the bottom of the pick barrel and found a nylon .88, have to say way better than the big stubbies I can't imagine it lasting longer than an hour or two but definitely like that feel. Got a 1.5mm tortex there that I'm trying with it
I found a 1mm Black Nylon plectrum
It's certainly a stronger attack point but not convinced on string to string balance. TBH I would need to practise specific to using a heavier pick
If I've had a long day oncourt I can find it to tiring to use a pick at all.
I love to finger... but sometimes I just need to get that extra attack and that’s when I use Dunlop 1mm (the black ones). Only trouble is if you drop them on stage they’re damn near invisible.
He hit a chord that rocked the spinet and disappeared into the infinite ...

Half a dozen of them, blutak, mic stand. No problem.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Vaguely attempting a tidy up and stocktake
Here’s the plectrum types I use
The “Big Stubby” is to much for me

Spring is the comic sans of reverbs anyway.
Spent a few hrs on the bass this week, for the first time in many years. Fingers are pretty sore, but can’t bring myself to use a pick yet. Reckon the heavier ones I use on guitar will be fine though. Think they’re a .99 planet waves pick - the blue one
You could look up Carol Kaye picking method - it gets a smoother, old school tone with no stress in the wrist. For bass players that are getting carpal tunnel it’s a godsend

I do like the big stubby for some songs. The rest where I need a plectrum is the nylon 0.88mm. Else fingers.
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.
