I'm a weird one, using primarily Clayton Triangle Acetal picks these days... either in 1mm or 1.26mm. I love the edge on them, and the shape just works for my rhythm playing. Bonus is I get 3 different points to wear down!
Still dig the crap out of mine.. think I got mine back at the end of October. I've been on a Recto kick lately, but the Snorkler is my favorite modded Marshall style amp I've owned, to the point where I might even sell my '96 101B. The Snorkler snarls, has just enough low end, and feels great...
I need to get a good quality round stand with boom arm for that reason... it's always a struggle trying to get the mic in the right spot while having the pedalboard where I want it.... without having the tripod fall off the edge of the stage.
Something with both active and passive pickups would be beneficial, especially since many active basses have a HUGE range of output available and will clip the input of some pedals (like my Spectors with bass/treble turned all the way up which is how I run them).
I'd say look for something...
I've always been more rhythm focused since I wanted to be James Hetfield back in the day, but I've embraced playing leads where I can and where my abilities allow me to. But I'm more Jerry Cantrell than Yngwie, that's for sure.
