Hi mmm...
Fred Kelley - the one that looks like a regular pick stuck to a thumb pick or the tiny little finger-like one? Maybe you mean the narrow one that he calls normal.
I never used those because they don't replicate the sound or feel of an actual thumb. When I used thumb picks it was to clarify the note on the bass string with the action still being played like my thumb plays and not trying to use it like a flat pick. I didn't like his ''regular'' thumb picks because they were too narrow (as opposed to thin), and I wanted more surface area to contact the string.
