Another Fred Kelly thumbpick fan but I use the Slick Pick more. It seems to give me a rounder, mellower bass tone while the Speed Pick gives me a more articulated bass tone. For most of my fingerstyle playing, the Slick Pick serves me better. The Speed Pick works better when I want the bass to stand out more. I use both of these thumbpicks in combination with Alaska Piks. I started using Fred Kelly thumbpicks with the Regular but it seems to be noisy with the wound strings (scraping/screechy noise). It’s good to try all three.
