Default Thumbpick that Flatpicks Too

I've been experimenting with thumbpicks I can switch between fingerpicking and flat picking. The one I like so far is the slickpick mediums. Do Y'all know of some others I can try? Thanks!

I tried Hercos when they came out. Ok as a thumbpick, as a flatpick, not so much. Problem with most of these is you can't easily get the attack angle needed for flatpicking.

I like the slick picks but they still aren't quite right. There's got to be some out there somewhere

Try the Herco heavy thumb/flat pick and also try the Propic Thumb-flatpick.

I have one of these Herco flat/thumbpicks in heavy tortoiseshell:

Too big for me to use properly as a thumbpick, and I prefer the sound of my cut-down Dunlops anyway. If you'd like it, send me a PM and I'll mail it to you.

You are most welcome. If neither of those work you might try the Fred Kelly Bumble Bee pick simply as another option.
