Abriel

“For at least two decades, I’ve been using Steve Clayton .80mm acetyl rounded triangle picks…for many of those years with the classic eagle logo, but more recently with custom Tubie and the Touchtones logos, which are a great hit when tossed to the crowd. If you folks ever stop making that pick, I would probably have to quit playing bass. I’ve been playing with those picks for so long it’s as if they are part of my hand–I can’t imagine using anything [...]
