Wedgie WRMS50 Rubber Mini Sampler 5.0mm: Soft, Medium, and Hard, 3 Pack

My guitar has its true voice singing through! I love these picks. They are easy to handle!

As a bass player, sometimes I have to use a pick for a song. I have big hands so thin picks really don't work well for me ergonomically. Wedgies check that box for me. I grabbed a sample pack because I was curious about the firmness of each pick and the sound produced.The soft one will shred up pretty quickly if you're grinding into the strings. It's really good for a softer style and quieter notes, and gets used semi-often for me.The medium one is more durable, but will also shred over time. It's good for me when I'm not playing a ton of notes in a fast time.The Hard one. This is my absolute favorite. It's been really durable and the attack is stiff. No shredding of it. If you play hard and fast, this is the one you're going to use the most. I have a hard time using anything else now.

Got these for my partner who plays bass. Said the loved these and of course when you use it often, it will wear down!Even his band members loved them that they went to bought these themselves.Worth the purchase! And honestly hard to find and the prices seem to be similar. This is the cheapest I found.

I'm a guitar player who sometimes gets pressed into bass service, but my fingernails won't allow me to play like a traditional bass player. I tried these picks but just could not get them to work. They seem to grab the string and not let go. I guess they're not for everyone.

These are very interesting and I recommend any bass player give them a go and see what you think. Hard to exactly describe what they're like, but each hardness has it's own qualities, but to me it feels kind of like being able to play fingerstyle and palm mute at the same time. Just give em a try, they're a lot of fun

Got these to use with my bass. Was told that rubber picks would have less attack, which is true. They did sound amazing on the bass. But they fall apart way to quickly. For the price that these cost vs. how long they last, you're better off getting felt picks if you plan to use them heavily.

I've rated this product highly because it delivers what you order - an assortment of rubber picks. My review is based more on my experience using said picks and things to potentially think about if you're interested in them but have never tried them.I'm a guitarist with long nails on my right hand for playing classical guitar. I also occasionally play bass in the studio and have found that the nails often result in a different sound than I'd want for fingerstyle bass (they sound more articulate like using a pick when I actually want more of a fleshy thump). As such, I've been searching for alternative ways to achieve that sound. Rubber picks were one of the options I've tried.First, these things are thick! If you're used to fat picks like Wegen picks or any of the assortment of buttons and huge hunks of plastic typically used for Jazz Manouche, you will be unfazed, but if not, just know that these are quite fat. Fortunately, they have a divot sculpted into the material which makes them easy to hold and you can get used to playing with these pretty quickly. Sound-wise, they get pretty close to an actual finger. They still have a bit more attack than I'd typically expect from fingerstyle bass playing, but with some adjustment of the tone knob on your instrument, you can get reasonably close.The sample pack I got were three picks of the same thickness, but different levels of rigidity. The white one seems to be the softest, the light grey is medium, and the dark grey is the most rigid. I'm used to playing with 1.5-2.0mm jazz style picks, so I tend to favor stiff material which I find easier to pull through a string. As such, I've almost never used the white and light grey pick since they're a little too floppy for my playing style. The dark grey pick still has more give than my typical pick, but then again, the whole point is to get a sound closer to fleshy fingers so having something too rigid might defeat the purpose. It does take a slight adjustment of technique to get timing right, but nothing that required tons of practice. Don't use these for the first time ever in a session but then again, why would you do that with anything?My major complaint with the rubber material is that it's a little grippy. Rubber is rubber and it doesn't slide through the string as easily as something like plastic or nylon would. I've found that it can be a challenge to play quick single note lines with this right out the gate because the pick kind of sticks to the string a bit. Think about playing a bass string with an eraser. To be clear, the material for these picks is not quite as bad as that but it gives you an idea.I've used these in recordings and they've performed admirably. I'm sure with a bit of practice, you could probably get used to them. I tend to prefer to use the side of my thumb doing rest strokes if I just need to knock out some long tones since I think it sounds better, but if I need to play quicker passages which I'd normally use two fingers for and don't want the sharper attack of a traditional pick, I like having these in the studio as an option.Something to note: if you use this somewhat regularly you'll probably want to order a couple. Despite not using this thing a ton, I've noticed some visible wear at the tip of the pick. That's the nature of using something soft like rubber so it's to be expected, but good to keep in mind if you're thinking about going this route.All in all, I don't think this is quite as good as playing with fingers, but IMHO it's a better solution than the leather picks I've tried. If only there was a hybrid solution...perhaps a rubber pick covered in a layer of leather?

I've always loved this picks! Way better for ukuele and Cigar Box Guitars in my opinion! Not a pro or even close in either instrument! Purchased the sampler pack to see if I had a preference in regards to sound. I didn't notice a diffefence between any of the pics. Mind not playing super fast.. just slow strumming on both instruments.
